IN—ORBIT COLLISION STATEMENT FOR 109° W.L. In considering operational and planned satelltes that may have a station—keeping volume that overlaps the ECHOSTAR—109W satellite, EchoStar reviewed the lits ofFCC licensed systems and systems that are currently under consideration by the FCC. n addition, non—USA networks for which a request for coordination has been submitted to the ITU in the vicinity of 109° W.L., have also been reviewed. Only those networks that either operate, or are planned to operate, and can have an overlapping station—keeping volume with the ECHOSTAR—109W satellte have been taken into account in the analysis. For purposes ofcalculating potentialstation—keeping volume overlap, US satelites have been assumed to have a maximum east—west excursion of 0.05° from their nominal location, while non—US satellte networks have been assumed to have a maximum excursion of0.1° from their nominal location. Based on ou review, there are no pending applications before the Commission for a satellite network in the immediate vicinity of 109° W.L. Venezuela has submitted a request for coordination forthe SIMON BOLIVAR 3 network at 109° W.L. EchoStar can find no evidence that satelite construction contract has been awarded for this satellite network, nor does the Federal Aviation Administration Commercial Space Station Fourth Quarter 2004 Report show a pending launch for a Venezvelan satellit. EchoStar therefore concludes that physical coordination of the ECHOSTAR—109W satellite with a second party will not be required. Stephen D. MeNeil Telecomm Strategies Inc.
