Dear Ms. Dortch:

       On August 15, 2006, the International Bureau ("Bureau") granted the request of XM

hereby informs the Bureau that XM—4 was successfully launched on October 30, 2006.
Accordingly, the 180—day period of this STA will terminate on April 28, 2007.

       Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.
