FCC Form 312, Response to Question 34


Question 33 of Form 312 asks whether the applicant, Skynet Satellite Corporation
(“Skynet”), is a corporation of which more than 25 percent of the capital stock is owned
of record or voted by aliens or their representatives or by a foreign government or
representative thereof or by any corporation organized under the laws of a foreign
country. The question is intended to ascertain whether the applicant complies with
Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, which establishes a 25 percent limit on
foreign ownership for companies controlling the licensees of broadcast, common
carrier, aeronautical en route, and aeronautical fixed licenses. Section 310(b)(4) is
inapplicable to Skynet’s extension request, because the satellite is not an aeronautical en
route or aeronautical fixed station and Skynet does not propose to provide broadcast or
common carrier service via the satellite.


FCC Form 312 Response to Question 36

Neither Skynet Satellite Corporation (“Skynet”), which is the applicant, nor Loral Space
& Communications, Inc. (“Loral Space”), which is a shareholder of Skynet’s parent
