      Re:       ViaSat, Inc. Satellite Authorization File No. SAT—LOA—20070209—00028; Call Sign
                $2732

      Dear Ms. Dortch:

                        ViaSat, Inc. ("ViaSat") hereby surrenders the above—referenced authorization to
      launch and operate a Ka band geostationary ("GSO") satellite at the 115.2° W.L. orbital location,
      which the Commission granted on July 18, 2007. It has become apparent that ViaSat‘s plans for
      this satellite are not currently viable given difficulties in the international frequency coordination
      process. Therefore, ViaSat will not pursue implementation of this satellite at this time.

                     ViaSat is pleased to report that it is separately submitting a bond with respect to
     its authorized Ka band satellite at the nominal 77° W.L. location, and looks forward to keeping
     the Commission apprised on its efforts to deploy a broadband network at that location.

                   ViaSat appreciates the diligent efforts of the Commission staff in this matter. If
     you have any questions regarding this submission, please contact the undersigned.

                                                               Respectfully submitted,


                                                         ic‘
                                                               John
                                                               Elizabeth R. Park
