Dortch Secrctary Federal Communications Commission 445 12" Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20554 Re: WB Holdings 1, LC — Voluntary Surrender ofKa—Band GSO License at 109.2° W L. — Call Sign 82211 Dear Ms. Dortch: WB Holdings 1, LLC ("WBH") hereby voluntarily surrenders ts Ka—band satellite liense at 109.2° W.L. (Call Sign 2211)." As the Commission knows, a number ofcircumstances (including the bankruptcy of its satellie construction contractor) prevented WBH from launching the WildBlue—1 satellite in ime to perfect international priority for the U.S. Ka—band fling at the International Telecommunications Union. Since that filing expired, WBH has searched diligently for an altemnative way to bring the slot into use underits Commission—issued license. At this point, WBH must concede that it will not be able to do so. WBH‘s corporate parent, WildBlue Communications, Inc., has launched a Ka—band satellite broadband service using a Canadian—licensed space station at 111.1° W.L., from which it provides service to underserved and unserved consumers across the country. WildBlue will continue to provide that service, and expects to expand ts capacity to do so by launching WildBlue—1 to that slot lter this year, where it has applied to operate pursuant to a Canadian authorization. Accordingly, WBH will continue to use its other Commission—issued Ka—band authorizations, and nothing in this leter should be interpreted to affect them in any way. * See IBES File Nos.

WBH appreciates the Commission‘s efforts on its behalf over the years, and looks forward to continuing to provide advanced broadband services to U.S. consumers. Senior VicePresident and General Counsel ec: Robert Nelson Andrea Kelly
