                         Telstar 12, Call Sign (S2642)
                         Telstar 11, Call Sign (S2670)

         Dear Ms. Dortch:

               Skynet Satellite Corporation, a subsidiary of Telesat (collectively, "Telesat"),l
         hereby notifies the Commission that the Satellite Control Center ("SCC") for Telstar 11
         and Telstar 12 is about to be relocated. It is anticipated that this change will be made on
         March 25,2008.

         1On October 31,2007, Telesat acquired the assets of Loral Skynet Corporation. Upon consummation of
         the transaction, the authorizations held by Loral Skynet Corporation were transferred to Skynet Satellite
         Corporation. For convenience, this letter refers to Telesat rather than Loral Skynet Corporation or Skynet
         Satellite Corpora tion.

       The new SCC is located at 1601 Telesat Court, Gloucester, ON K1B 5P4.
Telephone inquiries from the Commission concerning the health of the satellite should
be directed to SCC personnel at (613) 747-6104. Telephone inquiries from the
Commission concerning intersatellite interference issues should be directed to Telesat's
Allan Park personnel at 519-364-1013.

       There is no change in the earth stations used to provide tracking, telemetry, and
control ("TT&C") to Telstar 11and Telstar 12, which have been and will continue to be
located in Mount Jackson, Virginia? A terrestrial connection links the TT&C earth
stations to the SCC. A satellite link is in the process of being established that will serve
as a back-up to the terrestrial connection.

           Please direct any questions concerning this filing to the undersigned.
