TYCZ* SENIOR POLICY ADVISOR *NOT AN ATTORNEY June 17, 2015 FILED ELECTRONICALLY Jose Albuquerque Chief, Satellite Division-International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: Skynet Satellite Corporation (“Skynet”); SAT-LOA-20141010-00107 Dear Mr. Albuquerque: The Commission previously granted Skynet’s above-referenced application for authority to launch the Telstar 12V satellite and operate it at 15° W.L. (the “Orbital Location”). In response to an inquiry from the Commission’s staff, this letter clarifies the status of the Appendix 30B payload on Telstar 12V (the “Appendix 30B Payload”). Skynet will operate the Appendix 30B Payload at the Orbital Location under ITU network IOMSAT-15W-B, Special Section AP30B/A6A/266, which was filed by the United Kingdom’s OFCOM on behalf of the Isle of Man, was received by the ITU-BR on January 29, 2013, and was published in IFIC 2746/11.06.2013. The Isle of Man is a Crown Dependency of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom government acts on behalf of the Isle of Man for many external functions. Satellite networks for the Isle of Man are filed with the ITU-BR by OFCOM.

Jose Albuquerque Chief, Satellite Division-International Bureau Page 2 A company known as Mansat has an arrangement with the Isle of Man government whereby the rights to Isle of Man satellite networks are granted to Mansat. Skynet’s affiliate has a commercial agreement with Mansat for licensing of certain satellite networks filed by OFCOM on behalf of the Isle of Man government, including the one referenced above for the Appendix 30B Payload. Through inter-affiliate arrangements, those licensing rights are then made available to Skynet. Please direct any questions regarding this letter to the undersigned. Respectfully submitted, Joseph A. Godles Counsel for Skynet Satellite Corporation
