We find that waiver of these rules would not undermine their purpose because the waiver involves only passive receive—only earth stations thatare not capable of causing interference into fixed. stations operating in the same frequeney band. Furthermore, because Intelsat has agreed to accent any level ointerference from fixed stations intis receive—only earth sttions" operations in the extended Ku— band," FS operators would not be required to coordinate theirstation operations with the space station operator‘s receive—only earth stations‘ operations. Under these circumstances, we determine that an additional coordination burden is not placed upon FS operatorsand their abilty to expand service in the future is not restrited in any manner. Grant here as conditioned is consistent with prior Commission precedent." 2)=— Intelsat North America shall operate its earthstations in the 1095—11.2 GHfz and 11.45—11.7 GHbands that provide domestic service on an unprotected, non— interference basis relative t fixed stations and, as such, Intelsat North America may not cause harmfulinterference to, or claim protection from, ixed stations to which frequenciesin the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GH bands have either alteady assigned, or to which frequencies in the 10.95—11.2 GHand 11.45—11.7 GHtz bands may be assigned at a later date 3) Intelsat North America is required to inform its customers, in writing, including end—users receiving service from resellers accessing capacity on the INTELSAT 707 satelite, that the service in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz bands with regards to domestic service is being provided on an uncoordinated basis, AND THAT the potential exists that future—icensed fixed stations may cause harmful nterference to these unprotected earth stations 4) Intelsat North Americais afforded thity days from the date ofrelease of this action t decline this authorization as conditioned.

The Commission previously has determined that these crieria were satisied in an identical waiver request by Echotar." Specifaly, the Bureau found that waing NG 104 and footnote 2 of Section 25 202(2)1) would not undermine the purpose of the rules ithe party seeking a walver:(1) willbe utifzing earthstations that are receive—only in these bands and thus ‘not capable of causing interference into FSstations‘ operating in the bands; and (2) agrees to"accept any level o nterference from FS stations‘ in these bands."* Intelsat satities these crteria. The earth stations operating in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.451.7 GHz bands served by INTELSAT 905 at 298.5° E.L. (24.5° W.L), INTELSAT 707 at 307° E.L.

(186° W.L., lkethose to be used by EchoStar, willnot transimi in these bands and Intelsat agrees to accept any lavel ofiterference into those earth stations from FS stations in these bands. Accordingl,the earth statons operating in these bands pose no interference concerns withrespect to co—frequency FS stations Grant of Intelsats waiver request, moreover,wil have no impact on the potental for interference from the INTELSAT 905, INTELSAT 707, INTELSAT 701, and INTELSAT 605 satelits. The downlink transmissions of these satelitesin the 10.95— 11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz bands already complywith the powerfux density imits set outin the Commission‘s rulesfor operation over the U.5.," and Intelsat does not propose to lterany operational characteristics ofthese satelites folowing a grant ofits waiver request "* Seo EchoStar 83° Waiver, N 9—13, 27—30. 14. 113.

Intelsat also agrees to abide by the customer notfication requirements that the Bureau imposed on EchoStar." Intelsat wil inform its customers in writing,including any customers receiving end—user services from resellers accessing capaciy on INTELSAT 905 at 395.5° E.L.
