Dortch > July 27, 2010 _ Page 3 ‘ United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, US211, which urges applicants for airbome or space station assignments to take all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy observations in the adjacent bands from harmful interference. . (2) Operations in the 10950—11200 MHz and 11450—11700 MHz frequency bands are limited to international operations in accordance with footnote NG 104 to the United States Table of Frequency Allocations, 47 C.F.R. § 2.106, NG 104, and foothote 2 of Section . 25.202(a)(1) of the Comumission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.202(a)(1).. Grant of this application will serve the public interest by allowing Intelsat to continue operating C— and Ku—band frequencies on the Intelsat 603 satellite and thus best meet its customers‘ needs — in particular, a U.S. Government customer utilizing coverage of the Middle East.. In addition, grant of this request will provide additional time for the FCC and regulatory agency in the United Kingdom, Ofcom, to reach an understanding on the transfer of licensing . responsibility for the Intelsat 603 spacecraft. Grant of this STA extension is not expected to cause any harmful interference. Intelsat will continue to operate the C—band frequencies at levels low enough to ensure the protection of the W2A satellite operated by Eutelsat, which is the only C—band satellite within 5° of 11.5° E.L. Intelsat 603‘s Ku—band beams are pointed and will continue to be operated in such a way that they have significant . spatial and/or polarization isolation with respect to the operation of Eutelsat satellites at 10° E.L. and 13° E.L. Moreover, Intelsat agrees to continue operating the frequencies identified above on a non—interference, non—protected basis and in the unlikely circumstance that interference is generated to any other satellite, Intelsat agrees to immediately cease transmissions until the interference concerns of the interfered—with operator are satisfactorily resolved. . For the reasons set forth herein, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously process and grant this request for an extension of
