June 18, 2014 Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: IBFS File No. SAT-STA-20140513-00050 Call Sign S2232 Dear Ms. Dortch: EchoStar Satellite Operating Corporation (“EchoStar”) responds to Spectrum Five LLC’s (“Spectrum Five”) informal opposition against the above-referenced application for renewal of special temporary authorization (“STA”) to operate the EchoStar 6 satellite at 96.2º W.L. 1 Spectrum Five notes that its informal opposition raises “materially similar issues” as those raised in another informal filing against a prior EchoStar 6 STA renewal application. 2 In doing so, Spectrum Five rehashes the same baseless claims previously raised. To this end, EchoStar in prior pleadings has responded fully to those frivolous allegations. Accordingly, EchoStar urges the Commission to grant its application and reject Spectrum Five’s informal opposition for the same reasons set forth in the EchoStar MO&O, EchoStar STA Order, and EchoStar’s responses to Spectrum Five’s virtually identical claims. 3 Sincerely, /s/ Jennifer A.
