L LERMAN S SENTER PLLC WASHINGTON, DC STEPHEN D. BARUCH 202.416.6782 SBARUCH @LERMANSENTER.COM July 15, 2011 VIA HAND DELIVERY AND IBFS Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Hughes Network Systems, LLC Letter of Intent Authorization, Call Sign $2755 Dear Ms. Dortch: By this letter, Hughes Network Systems, LLC ("Hughes"), by its attorneys, respectfully declines the Letter of Intent ("LOIT") authorization the Commission granted Hughes on June 17, 2011 for a Ka—band fixed—satellite service ("FSS") space station to serve the United States from the 90.9° W.L. orbital location. See Hughes Network Systems, LLC, DA 11—1067, File No. SAT—LOI—20091110—00121 (Int‘l. Bur, released June 17, 2011) ("LOI Grant‘). This action is taken pursuant to Paragraph 33 of the LOI Grant. Hughes currently provides Ka—band FSS service from the SPACEWAY 3 satellite at 94.95° W.L., and is preparing to launch its Jupiter 1 Ka—band FSS satellite next year. Hughes thus emphasizes that it remains committed to the development of and service to the burgeoning U.S. market for satellite broadband services. Hughes has determined, however, that this commitment will be best served by pursuing the provision of service from a location other than 90.9° W .L. Hughes thanks the Commission for its effort in considering and acting upon the LOI request. 2000 K STREET NW, SUITE 600 | WASHINGTON, DC 20006—1809 TEL 202.429.8970 | FAX 202.293.7783 | WWW.LERMANSENTER.COM
