1200 EIGHTEENTH STREET, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20036 TEL 202.730. I300 FAX 202.730. I30 I WWW. HARRISWILTSHIRE. COM ATORNEYS AT LAW February 19,2003 BY HAND DELIVERY Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Intelsat LLC, File No. SAT-STA-20030110-00001 Dear Ms. Dortch: New Skies Satellites N.V. (“New Skies”) hereby comments in support of the application filed by Intelsat LLC for special temporary authority (“STA”) to relocate the INTELSAT 702 satellite to the 55” E.L. orbital location. Intelsat seeks a U S . authorization to operate its satellite in an orbital location currently occupied by the failing Indian INSAT-2DT satellite. That slot is adjacent to the 57” E.L. orbital location where New Skies operates its NSS-703 satellite. Accordingly, New Skies and Intelsat sought to address the technical compatibility issues of the two satellite systems and New Skies and Intelsat have recently agreed to a set of operating parameters for INTELSAT 702 at 55” E.L. So long as Intelsat operates the INTELSAT 702 satellite in the manner provided by the agreement, we do not believe harmful interference will be caused to NSS-703. Accordingly, assuming continued compliance with the terms of the Intelsatmew Slues agreement, New Skies supports a grant of Intelsat’s STA request. Respectfully submitted, William M. Wiltshire Counsel for New Skies Satellites N. V.
