                          Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          Intelsat License LLC ("Intelsat"),‘ by counsel, respectfully requests an additional
                          180 days—until February 7, 2014—to consummate the transfer of control that the
                          Commission previously approved in the above—referenced proceedings.

                          On May 16, 2012, the International Bureau authorized the transfer of control of the
                          earth station and space station licenses held by Intelsat pursuant to a public offering
                          of newly issued voting shares, subsequent voting share sales by current
                          shareholders, and possible private placements of newly issued voting shares." The

        Grant of this request for an additional extension of time will serve the public
        interest. On April 23, 2013, Intelsat completed a public offering of newly issued
        voting shares. Intelsat anticipates that the transfer of control to public ownership
        will be consummated as current owners reduce their shareholdings through market
        transactions or secondary offerings." Grant of the requested extension will serve the
        public interest by permitting Intelsat an opportunity to complete the approved
        transfer of control in a time frame consistent with current business and market
        considerations.

        Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you have any questions.

        Sincerely,

        /s/ Jennifer D. Hindin

        Jennifer D. Hindin
