                 Notice of Ex Parte Presentation                          Federal Communications Commission
                                                                                _ Office of Secretary
       Dear Ms. Dortch:                                                                             '

       On‘Wednesday, April 19, 2006, Intelsat Global Service Corporation ("‘Intelsat")
       representatives Susan H. Crandall, Assistant General Counsel; Humberto Henriques,
       Director, Telecommunications Policy and Regulatory Affairs; and RamManohar,
       Department Manager, Frequency Management, met with representatives of the
       Commission‘s International Bureau. — The Commission representatives were as follows:
       Andrea Kelly, Chief, Policy Branch; Kathyrn Medley, Acting Chief, Satellite
       Engineering Branch; Alyssa Roberts, Pohcy  Branch; Steven Spaeth, Satellite Division;
        and Sy1v1a Lam Engineering Branch.

     — The Intelsat representatives reiterated arguments made in the company‘s March 27, 2006
      . letter asking the Commission to dismiss,—or deny, ICO‘s request to utilize conventional
        C—band frequencies for LEOP, transfer orbit, and emergency TT&C onan ICO satellite
        that ICO seeks to collocate with Intelsat‘s IA—6 satellite at the nominal 93° W.L. location.
        The Intelsat representatives also described a meeting that had taken place between
        Intelsat and ICO in early ‘April, in which the operators had exchanged technical
        information about their respective satellites. The Intelsat representatives explained why
        ICO‘s proposed use of certain conventional C—band frequencies at the nominal 93° W.L.
        location would cause harmful interference into the telecommand and communications
        operations of IA—6. Finally, the Intelsat representatwes identified potential center
      — frequencies for ICO‘s telecommand carriers in the extended C—band, which, depending
      _ on the sense of polarization used, might ensure technical compatibility w1th collocated
     \ Intelsat satellites.                                                                    |                ‘

        Consistent withSection 1.1206 of the FCC‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206, an original and
        two copies of this letter are being filed for inclusion in the record of the above—referenced
       . proceeding.
