(“PanAmSat Licensees”), by counsel, respectfully request an additional 180 days—from October 29, 2010 to April 27, 2011—to complete one aspect of the pro forma transfer of control of space station and earth station licenses approved in the above-referenced proceedings. On December 3, 2009 the Commission authorized two non-substantial changes to the ownership of the PanAmSat Licensees: (1) the migration of several entities from Bermuda companies to Luxembourg companies and (2) the dissolution of Intelsat (Poland) Sp. z o.o.1 Pursuant to Section 25.119 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.119, the deadline for consummating these pro forma transactions was 60 days after authorization—February 1, 2010. The Luxembourg migration was consummated effective December 15, 2009.2 The FCC has extended the closing deadline of the dissolution of Intelsat (Poland) Sp. z o.o. until October 29, 2010.3 1 See Policy Branch Information; Actions Taken, Report No. SAT-00652, DA 09-2538 (rel. Dec. 4, 2009; effective Dec. 3, 2009). 2 See Letter from Jennifer D. Hindin to Marlene H. Dortch, File Nos.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch October 18, 2010 Page 2 The dissolution of Intelsat (Poland) Sp. z o.o. remains pending. Additional time is needed to complete the business steps that are necessary prerequisites to the dissolution, including ensuring compliance with Polish legal requirements to properly distribute the stock of Intelsat Holding Corporation to Intelsat (Luxembourg) Finance Company S.a r.l. Furthermore, given the number of space and earth station licenses associated with the pro forma transfer of control, allowing the existing authority to expire and requiring the PanAmSat Licensees to submit new applications for this non-substantial ownership change would be costly and administratively burdensome. Accordingly, the PanAmSat Licensees respectfully request a 180-day further extension of the closing deadline. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you have any questions. Sincerely, /s/ Jennifer D. Hindin Jennifer D. Hindin
