ViaSat, Inc. FCC Form 312 Page 1 of 2 Other Required Information Response to Question 35 Request for Waiver ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) requests a modification of the authorizations for its satellites at 115º W.L. (S2747) and at 77º W.L. (S2737) to allow ViaSat to reverse the order in which the two satellites are implemented. ViaSat seeks a waiver or extension of the remaining milestones for the 77º W.L. satellite to the extent the Commission deems it necessary to allow that satellite to be deployed later than as currently provided under its remaining milestones. ViaSat has indicated in response to Question 35 of the Form 312 for the 115º W.L. satellite that a waiver is requested because the attached narrative references a waiver of milestones. Such a waiver request, however, applies only to the 77º W.L. satellite.
