                       S2894

Dear Ms. Dortch:

               ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) hereby surrenders the above-referenced grant of market
access for a Ka-band satellite at the nominal 79º W.L. orbital location, which the Commission
granted on December 12, 2013. It has become apparent that ViaSat’s plans for this satellite are
not currently viable due to unresolved challenges in the international frequency coordination
process.

                ViaSat is pleased to report that it is separately submitting a bond with respect to
its grant of market access for a Ka-band satellite at the nominal 70º W.L. location, and looks
forward to keeping the Commission apprised of its efforts to expand its satellite broadband
network at that location.

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


                                              Respectfully submitted,

                                                      /s/

                                              John P. Janka
                                              Elizabeth R. Park
                                              Amanda E. Potter

                                              Counsel for ViaSat, Inc.
