This is in addition to Intlsat North America‘s continuing authority to provide protected international service in the extended Ku—bands, 10.5—11.2 GiHfz and 11.45—11.7 GiHtz (space—to— Earth),as well as protected intemational and domestic services in the C: and Ku— bands, 3625— 3700 MHz, 3700— 4200 MHz, and 11.7—11.95 GHtz (space—to—Earth); and 5850— 5025 Mitz, 5025— 6425 MHfe and 140—14.5 GHz (Earth—to—space).".

11.2GHte and 11.45—11.7 GHz bands ARE GRANTED as conditioned. We find (hat waiver of these rules would not undermine theit parpose because the waiver involves only passive receive—only carth stations that are not capable ofcausing interference into: fixed. stations operating in the same. frequeney band Furthermore, because Itelsat has agreed to accept any level oiterference from fixed stations intoits receive—only earth stations‘ operations in the extended Ku— band," FS operators would not be required to coordinate their station operations with the space station operetor‘s receive—only earth sations* operations. Under (hese circumstances, we determine that an additiona! coordination burden is not placed upon FS operators and thir abilty to expand service in the fature is not restrited in any manner. Grant here as conditioned is consistent with prior Commission precedent.® 2) Intelsat North America shall operate ts earthstations in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 1145—11.7 GHz bands that provide domestic service on an unprotected, non— interference basis relative to fixed stations and, s such, Itelsat North Americn may not cause harmfulinterference to, or claim protéction from, fixed stations to which frequencies in the 10.95—11.2 GHe and 11.45:11.7 GHz bands have cither already assigned, orto which frequencies in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 1145—11.7 GHz bands may be assigned at a latedate. 3) Intelsat North Americais required to inform its customers, in writing, including end—users receiving service from resellers accessing capacity on the INTELSAT 701 satelite, hatthe 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 porential exits that future—icensed fixed stations may cause harmful interference to these unprotected earthstations 4) Intelsat North America is afforded thity days from the date of release of this actionto declinethis authoriztion as conditioned.

The Commission previously has determin that these crteria were satisfed in an identical walver request by EchoStar." Specifite My, the Bureau found that wahing NG 104 and footnote 2 of Section 25202(a)(1) we 1d not undermine the purpose of the rules i the party seeking a waiver:(1) will be utitly i eatth stations that are receive—only in these bands and thus ‘not capable of causing iferterence into FS stations* operating in the bands; and (2) agrees to "accept any level interference from FS stations* in these bands.!* Intelsat satities these crteria. The carth t fatons operating in the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45— 1.7 GHz bands served by INTEL AT 905 at 335 .5° E.L. (24.5° WL), INTELSAT 7or at 307° EL. (65° WL),INTELSA 701 at 180° EL. (180° W.L.), and INTELSAT 605 at 174° EL. (106° W.L), tke thosp to be used by EchoStar, willnot transimi in these bands and Intelsat agrees to ac t any level of nterference into those earth stations from FS stations in these bands. Ag Fordingly,the earth stations operating in these bands pose no interference concemns wi respect to co—frequency FS stations. Grant of Intelsats waiver request, moreovi . wil have no impact on the potental for interference from the INTELSAT 905, INTELSP iT T07,INTELSAT 701, and INTELSAT 605 satelltes. The dounink transmisg fons of these satelites in the 10.95— 11.2 GHz and 11.45—1.7 GHz bands already co ly wih the powerfux density imits set outin the Commission‘s rules for operation o¥ t the ULS.." and Intelsat does not propose toalterany operational characteristics o Ihese satelites folowing a grant oits waiver request 12 Soo EchoStar 83° Waiver, 1 9—13,27—20 the, 118. #ar CFR. 5 25 208

Intelsat alo agrees to abide by the custorhe r notifeation requirements that the Bureau imposed on EchoStar.® Intelsat wil nfor®y its customers in writng, including any customers receiving end—user services from elers accessing capacity on inTELSAT 005 at 335.5° EL.

Finally, a grant of Intlsat‘s waiver request ill serve the public interest by expaning the range of services that Intelsat can fovide to the public. n partcular, a grant wl enable Itelsat to make additonal capadi l availablein the 10.95—11.2 GHiz and 11.45—11.70 GHiz bands for services to custofy irs in the United States. 11. conctusion For the reasons stated herein,grant of nt lat‘s waiver request wil serve the puble interest without undermining the purposes the Commission‘s rules.
