                                            EXHIBIT 3

                          OTHER LICENSES AND APPLICATIONS
                                (Response to Question 36)

        On July 26, 2011, the IB declared null and void EchoStar’s authorization to construct,
launch, and operate a new Direct Broadcast Satellite at 86.5º W.L. for failure to meet the critical
design review milestone, and rejected EchoStar’s request to modify its 86.5º W.L. authorization
to allow the in-orbit EchoStar 8 satellite to provide service from that orbital location.1 EchoStar
has filed a petition for reconsideration of the IB’s decision.2

       The FCC has dismissed, but not denied on the merits, a few of EchoStar’s license
applications without prejudice to refiling.3
