     Re:       Withdrawal of Certain Applications and a Petition of Hughes Network Systems, Inc.
               and Hughes Communications, Inc.

     Dear Ms. Dortch:

                     On behalf of Hughes Network Systems, Inc.("HNS") and Hughes Communications, Inc.
     ("HCI"), we are writing to withdraw certain applications and a pending petition for reconsideration of an
     authorization.

                      On March 28, 2003, HNS tendered for cancellation its second Ka band processing round
     authorization for Call Signs $2338, $2339, $2340, and $2341.‘ As a result, the following pending
     modification applications for those four call signs have been rendered moot, and HNS hereby withdraws
     those applications.

               1. Application for minor modification 0
               2.   Application for minor modification 0
               3.   Application for minor modification
                    and
               4. Application for minor modification of $2340, FCC File No. SAT—MOD—20020815—00157.

                       In addition, an HNS predecessor—in—interest to its second Ka band processing round
     authorization, HCI, has pending a Petition for Reconsideration or Clarification ofthat authorization. That
     petition likewise has been rendered moot by HNS® cancellation of the underlying authorization. On
     behalf of HCI, we therefore withdraw that petition, more particularly described as follows:

                   Petition for Reconsideration or Clarification of Hughes Communications, Inc. regarding
