Present at the meeting were Diane Cornell, Special Counsel to Chairman Wheeler; Brad Revare, Legal Intern, Office of Chairman Wheeler; Bryan Tramont, Counsel for EchoStar; and the undersigned. At the meeting, EchoStar noted that Spectrum Five LLC (“Spectrum Five”) to date has submitted 23 filings against the initial STA application, more than 10 filings against the STA renewal applications, and five filings against the modification application. EchoStar urged the Commission to put an end to these frivolous filings by expeditiously granting its license modification and STA renewal applications, and rejecting Spectrum Five’s claims against the applications, consistent with the recent court decision dismissing Spectrum Five’s similar claims against the initial STA grant for lack of standing. Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned. Sincerely, /s/ Jennifer A. Manner Jennifer A. Manner Vice President of Regulatory Affairs cc: Diane Cornell (FCC) Scott Angstreich (Counsel for Spectrum Five)
