Mr. Jose P. Albuquerque Chief, Satellite Division, International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, DC 20010 Re: LeoSat MA, Inc., Petition for Declaratory Ruling to Permit U.S. Market Access for the LeoSat Ka-Band Low-Earth Orbit Satellite System; Call Sign S2979, IBFS File No. SAT-PDR-20161115-00112 Dear Mr. Albuquerque, LeoSat MA, Inc. (“LeoSat”) submits this letter to supplement its pending petition for declaratory ruling seeking access to the U.S. market to provide broadband fixed satellite services using a Ka-band low-Earth orbit non-geostationary satellite orbit (“NGSO”) system. Specifically, LeoSat herein provides additional information about the International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”) filing that was submitted for use with the LeoSat system. As LeoSat noted in past filings with the Commission, LeoSat will use for the operation of its NGSO system the 2014 MCSAT-2 LEO-2 ITU filing by the Agence Nationale des Fréquences (“ANFR”).1 1 See LeoSat MA, Inc., Petition for Declaratory Ruling To Permit U.S. Market for the LeoSat Ka- Band Low-Earth Orbit Satellite System, Call Sign S2979, IBFS File No. SAT-PDR- 20161115-00112, Attachment A (Technical Annex to Supplement Schedule S), § 7 at 21-22 (filed Nov. 15, 2016) (describing ITU coordination filings and other ITU filings in connection with the MCSAT-2 LEO-2 satellite network); Letter from Phillip R. Marchesiello, Lynne Montgomery, Counsel to LeoSat MA, Inc., to Jose P. Albuquerque, Chief, Satellite Division, Federal Communications Commission, IBFS File No. SAT-PDR- 20161115-00112 (filed Oct. 20, 2017) (“Oct. 20 Letter”). 1245 S. Powerline Rd , Pompano Beach, FL 888-LOW-SATS www.LEOSAT.com

The ANFR is aware that LeoSat intends for the NGSO system that LeoSat will operate pursuant to the MCSAT-2 LEO-2 ITU filing to be licensed by the Radiocommunications Agency Netherlands (“RA”)2 rather than the ANFR. Similarly, the RA is aware that LeoSat ntends to seek a space station license from the RA for LeoSat’s NGSO system that will utilize the MCSAT-2 LEO-2 ANFR ITU filing. Both the ANFR and the RA have indicated that this arrangement is acceptable to them. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned with any questions that you may have about this matter. Sincerely, Joseph C. Anders Founder and President LeoSat MA, Inc. 2 See Oct. 20 Letter at 1-2. 1245 S. Powerline Rd , Pompano Beach, FL 888-LOW-SATS www.LEOSAT.com
