                          Re:     Intelsat North America LLC, Request for Special Temporary Authority
                                  for Intelsat 603, File No. SAT-STA-20091209-00143 (call sign S2399)

                          Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          Intelsat North America LLC (“Intelsat North America”), by counsel, files this letter
                          to clarify the above-referenced application for Special Temporary Authority
                          (“STA”) to drift the Intelsat 603 satellite (call sign S2399) from 340.05° E.L.
                          (19.95° W.L.) to 11.5º E.L.

                          The pending STA request states that “[u]pon completion of the maneuvers required
                          to place Intelsat 603 at 11.5º E.L., Intelsat will notify the Commission and surrender
                          its license for the Intelsat 603 satellite.”1 Intelsat North America clarifies that it will
                          not surrender its license prior to having received FCC authority to transfer the
                          Intelsat 603 satellite from United States to United Kingdom licensing authority.2 If,
                          upon completion of the drift, such authority has not yet been granted, Intelsat North
                          America acknowledges that operation of the Intelsat 603 satellite would require
                          additional Commission approval.

                          Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.

                          Sincerely,

                          /s/ Jennifer D. Hindin
