    Operations under this grant must comport with the legal and technical specifications set forth by the
    applicant or petitioner and with Federal Communication Commission‘s rules not walved herein. This
    grant is also subject to the following conditions:


             1.      DIRECTV must prepare the necessary information, as may be required, for submission to the
    International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to initiate and complete the advance publication, coordination, due
    diligence, and notification process of this space station, or other appropriate procedures under the ITU Radio


    ! Application was originally filed by Intelsat License LLC. The application was subsequently amended to provide DIRECTV
    Enterprises, LLC as the applicant and licensee.
    2 Operations in these frequencies will be subject to the authority of the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority of the
    United Arab Emirates, consistent with the UAE ITU filings known as YAHSAT—G5—43W and MADAR—43W. See Annex A
    to this grant. This authorization does not include any grant of market access to the United States in these frequencies.
    Iridium Satellite LLC filed comments to this application stating that it has no objection to a grant of DIRECTY‘s
    Application, assuming that operations in certain portions of these frequencies will be coordinated under ITU procedures.
    Comments of Iridium Satellite LLC (filed Dec. 18, 2015). This is indeed the case. See Annex A.

Regulations. DIRECTV will be held responsible for all cost—recovery fees associated with ITU filings. No
protection from interference caused by radio stations authorized by other administrations is guaranteed unless
coordination, notification, or other appropriate procedures are timely completed or, with respect to individual
administrations, coordination agreements are successfully completed. Any radio station authorization for which
coordination or other appropriate procedures have not been completed may be subject to additional terms and
conditions as required to effect coordination with the frequency assignments of other administrations.
        2.       In connection with the provision of service in any particular country, DIRECTV is obliged to
comply with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of that country.
        3.       DIRECTV must operate SKY—BI1 at the 43.15° W.L. orbital location in compliance with all
existing or future coordination agreements for this location.
        4.       DIRECTV must maintain the SKY—B1 space station within an east/west longitudinal station—
keeping tolerance of + 0.05 degrees of the 43.15° W.L. orbital location.
        5.       The Commission has exchanged letters with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of the
United Arab Emirates to ensure a mutual understanding regarding the operations of the SKY—B1 space station.
The letters are attached to this grant and the understandings and factual basis for those understandings are a
material consideration for this grant of authority.
        6.    The operations of SKY—BI1 and associated earth stations must comport with the applicable uplink
and downlink limits in 47 CFR § 25.140(a)(3) of the Commission‘s rules, unless Intelsat coordinates any non—
conforming operations with the operations of U.S.—licensed geostationary orbit space stations within 6 degrees of
the 43.15° W.L. orbital location. The operations of SKY—B1 must also comport with the maximum power limits
indicated in its application, unless other levels have been successfully coordinated and notified to the FCC. Non—
conforming operation must also be coordinated with respect to those operations of non—U.S.—licensed space
stations within 6 degrees of 43.15° W.L. involving approved communications with U.S.—licensed earth stations.
         7. The FSS operations of SKY—BI1 and associated earth stations must comply with the parameters of
the Appendix 30B satellite network USASAT—55E filed with the ITU for operation in the 10.7—10.95 GHz (space—
to—Earth), 11.20—11.45 GHz (space—to—Earth), and 12.75—13.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency bands and any
additional conditions resulting from the coordination of this network.
        8.      Operations of SKY—BI1 in the 14.47—14.5 GHz frequency band must comply with the terms of
footnotes 5.149 and US342 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, 5.149,
US342, which urge taking all practicable steps to protect the radio astronomy service from harmful interference.
        9.       DIRECTV‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz frequency band is limited to international operations in
accordance with footnote NG52 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106 NGS52.
        10.      DIRECTYV‘s request for waiver of footnote NGS52 of the United States Table of Allocations, 47
C.F.R. § 2.106, to use the 11.45—11.7 GHz frequency band to offer domestic services on an unprotected, non—
interference basis in the United States is GRANTED, as conditioned. We find that waiver does not undermine the
purpose of the rules because the waiver involves only earth stations that are receive—only in the 11.45—11.7 GHz
frequency band and thus are not capable of causing interference into fixed stations operating in this band.
Furthermore, because DIRECTV has agreed to accept any level of interference from fixed stations into its
receive—only earth stations‘ operations in these bands, fixed station operators will not be required to coordinate
their station operations with the space station operator‘s receive—only earth stations‘ operations.* Under these

circumstances, we determine that an additional coordination burden is not placed upon fixed station operators and
their ability to expand service in the future would not be restricted in any manner." Grant here, as conditioned, is
consistent with prior Commission precedent.©
               a.   DIRECTV‘s space—to—Earth transmissions in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band that provide domestic
                    service are on an unprotected, non—harmful interference basis relative to fixed stations. As such,
                    DIRECTV must not cause harmful interference to, or claim protection from, fixed stations to
                    which frequencies in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band have either been already assigned, or to which
                    frequencies in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band may be assigned at a later date. DIRECTV must
                    terminate operations in the 11.45—11.7 GHz band upon notification that its operations are causing
                    interference to fixed stations operating in this band, and must immediately inform the
                    Commission, in writing, of such an event.
               b.   DIRECTV must inform its customers, in writing, including end—users receiving service from
                    resellers accessing capacity on the SKY—B1 space station, that the service in the 11.45—11.7 GHz
                    band with regard to domestic service is being provided on an uncoordinated basis, and that the
                    potential exists that future licensed fixed stations may cause harmful interference to these
                    unprotected earth stations.
        11.    DIRECTV‘s use of the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz band (space—to—Earth) is subject to
footnote US211 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47. C.F.R. § 2.106, US211, which urges
airborne or space station operations taking all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the
adjacent bands from harmful interference, consistent with footnote US74.
         12. DIRECTV‘s request for waiver of footnote NG52 of the United States Table of Allocations, 47
C.F.R. § 2.106, to use the 12.75—13.25 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band to offer domestic services on an
unprotected, non—interference basis in the United States is GRANTED. DIRECTV‘s operations within the United
States must be limited to two gateway earth stations in this band. As such, we find that waiver does not
undermine the purpose of the rules.
         13.        In the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space), receiving space stations in the fixed satellite
service must not claim protection from radiolocation transmitting stations operating in accordance with the United
States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106.
         14.        Pursuant to footnote US337 of the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. §
2.106, US337, any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the SKY—B1 space
station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) is required to coordinate through National
Telecommunications and Information Administration‘s (NTIA‘s) Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee‘s

Space Administration (NASA) Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, including manned space flight.
         15.      Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the
SKY—BI1 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) must comply with footnote US356 to United
States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US356, which specifies that in the band 13.75—14
GHz, an earth station in the fixed—satellite service shall have a minimum antenna diameter of 4.5 meters
and the equivalent isotropically radiated powers (e.i.r.p.) of any emission should be at least 68 dBW and
should not exceed 85 dBW. Operations of any earth station located outside the United States and its
possessions communicating with the SKY—B1 space station in the 13.75—14.0 GHz band (Earth—to—space) must be
consistent with No. 5.502 to the ITU Radio Regulations, which allows a minimum antenna diameter of 1.2 meters
for earth stations of a geostationary satellite orbit network and specifies mandatory power limits.
       16.     Operations of any earth station in the United States and its possessions communicating with the
SKY—BI1 space station in the 13.77—13.78 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band must comply with footnote
US357 to United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US357, which specifies that the
maximum e.i.r.p. density of emissions not exceed 71 dBW in any 6 MHz band within the 13.77—13.78 GHz
(Earth—to—space) frequency band for communications with a space station in geostationary—satellite orbit."
Operations of any earth station located outside the United States and its possessions communicating with the
SKY—B1 space station in the 13.77—13.78 GHz (Earth—to—space) frequency band must comply with No. 5.503 of
the ITU Radio Regulations, which specifies a required maximum e.i.r.p. density of emissions (limit is dependent
on antenna diameter) for communications with a space station in geostationary—satellite orbit.
         17.      The license term for the space station is 15 years and began on March 28, 2017 the date that
DIRECTV certified to the Commission that SKY—B1 was successfully placed into orbit and its operations fully
conform to the terms and conditions of this authorization.‘

                                          Re: Operations of the SKY—B1 Satellite

Dear Mr. Al—Awadhi:

        This is in reference to our letter of March 15, 2016, and to your acknowledgment dated April 12,
2016, concerning the SKY—B1 satellite and its operation at the 43.1° W.L..orbital location. In the March
15 letter, I stated that the FCC would consult with the TRA, if practicable, prior to any relocation of the
satellite. I wish to bring to your attention a minor change in the location at which the SKY—B1 satellite .
will operate, and to confirm that our informal understanding concerning the operation of the satelhte as
documented in earlier correspondence, is otherwise unchanged.
        More specifically, on February 21, 2017, DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC, provided the FCC with
notice of its intent to operate the SKY—B1 satellite at 43.15° W.L., instead of at 43.1° W.L, the location
currently specified in its FCC authorization.                             .                                   —
        For your convenience, we include here the items concerning the operation of SKY—B1lon which
our agencies concurred in earlier correspondence, but with the modified orbital location inserted:
        1) At the 43.15° W.L. orbital location, operations of SKY—B1 in the Ka—band frequencies will be
           ‘subject to the TRA‘s authority and such authority will allow the TRA to require YahSat to
            modify or cease operations in the Ka—band frequencies if deemed necessary.
        2) At the 43.15° W.L. orbital location, operations of SKY—B1 in frequency bands other than the
           Ka—band frequencies will be subject solely to the authority of the FCC. Operations of SKY—
           B1 at any location other than 43.15° W.L., including operations in the Ka—band frequencies
           and any operations as a result of any equipment failure in the satellite that leads to inability to
           maintain the satellite within £+0.05° of its assigned 43.15° W.L. orbital location, will also be
           subject solely to the authority of the FCC.
        3) The FCC will consult with the TRA if practicable, prior to any relocation ofthe satelhte or as
           soon thereafter as possible.
        4) The FCC will retain the unilateral right in the event of extraordinary circumstances to direct
           DIRECTV to cease operations of SKY—B1, or anyportion of the satellite, without the need
            for consultation with or approval from the TRA, for example, to comply with a direction by
            the U.S. President under Section 706(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47
            U.S.C. § 606(c), or in the event of a satellite anomaly presenting an imminent danger, and >
            DIRECTV will be required to comply with any such direction. It is understood that, if
            operations of SKY—B1 in the Ka—band frequencies are ceased under this condition, the FCC
            will inform the TRA, at the earliest possible opportunity, about the action taken by the FCC.


        5) YahSat and the TRA will be responsible for the compliance with the ITU Radio Regulations
           (in particular the coordination and notification procedures) for the operations of SKY—B1 at
           43.15° W.L. in the Ka—band frequencies.
       6) DIRECTV and the FCC will be responsible for taking action necessary for compliance with
          the ITU Radio Regulations (in particular the coordination and notification procedures) for
          SKY—B1, except as noted in number 5 above.
       7) With respect to Paragraph 3.2 of the Minutes of the 13 Plenary Meeting of WRC—12 (as set
          out in ITU Circular Letter CR/333), the FCC will not object to the TRA notifying the ITU of
          the bringing into use of frequency assignments of the YAHSAT—GS—43W and MADAR—43 W
          networks in the bands 28.65—30.0 GHz and 18.85—20.2 GHz, based upon operations of SKY—
           BI1.
        If the foregoing corresponds to your understanding of the informal arrangements between our
agencies concerning SKY—B1, please confirm by return letter. Thank you.


                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                                              3 B
 By selecting B, the undersigned certifies that the applicant is subject to the geographic service or geographic
 coverage requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 25 and will comply with such requirements.
                                                                                                                              3 C
By selecting C, the undersigned certifies that the applicant is subject to the geographic service or geographic
coverage requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 25 and will not comply with such requirements because it is not
feasible as a technical matter to do so, or that, while technically feasible, such services would require so many
compromises in satellite design and operation as to make it economically unreasonable. A narrative description
and technical analysis demonstrating this claim are attached.
