The authorizations of 2 GHz licensees require that each licensee select its specific 2 GHz MSS spectrum assignment in each of the 2000—2020 MHz and 2180—2200 MHz frequency bands upon commencing operation in its authorized orbit location. To date, construction of the ICO G1 satellite is 85% complete, ICO has paid 90% of the satellite construction contract price, and has paid 60% of the launch contract price. Based on its progress to date, ICO fully expects to launch its 2 GHz MSS satellite in time to be the first 2 GHz licensee to make its selected spectrum assignment. ICO is willing to cooperate with other 2 GHz licensees in spectrum selection,

spectrum clearing, and other related issues. However, ICO would oppose any 2 GHz license modification that would be inconsistent with the terms of its authorization.
