Dear Ms. Dortch:

        This is to inform you that Stacy Fuller of The DIRECTV Group, Inc.
(“DIRECTV”) and undersigned counsel spoke by telephone with Renee Crittendon,
Legal Advisor to Commissioner Adelstein on February 15,2008. In this call, the
DIRECTV representatives discussed the pending Application for Review of the
International Bureau’s grant of authority to Spectrum Five, LLC to serve the U.S. market
from foreign-licensed “tweener” satellites, raising concerns consistent with their
comments in these proceedings.

        They also pointed out that the alternative remedy of requiring Spectrum Five to
file a modification application later this year is only a small change fi-om the existing
requirement in Spectrum Five’s authorization to provide the Bureau with much of the
information that would underlie such an application. Such a change would, however,
provide the Commission and all interested parties a formal framework within which to
evaluate the specific manner in which Spectrum Five proposes to operate - a process that,
in the normal course, would already have happened but in this case has not.

                                            Sincerely yours,



                                            William M. Wiltshire
                                            Counselfor The DIRECTV Group, Inc.
