A map of the new beam coverage is enclosed as Exhibit A. Intelsat will also be filing a license modification application to support this new service area. Intelsat 10 is permanently licensed to operate at 47.5º E.L.2 with a different Ku-band beam coverage than the beam coverage proposed herein. One of the satellite’s Ku-band beams, the Europe Africa Beam, will be biased in order to achieve the new coverage. Intelsat’s proposed operation of Intelsat 10 will conform to existing coordination agreements and the FCC’s rules governing operations vis-à- vis adjacent locations. All other beams will be unaffected by the Ku-band beam repointing. 1 Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, and a $980.00 filing fee electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System. 2 See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT-01173, File No. SAT-MOD- 20160422-00038 (July 8, 2016) (Public Notice).
