Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Presentations, AC BidCo LLC, Call Sign E120106 File Nos. SES-STA-20170208-00140 & SES-AFS-20170208-00139 Dear Ms. Dortch: As outside counsel for AC BidCo LLC (“AC BidCo”), I recently discussed with Commission staff the above-referenced STA request and amendment in which AC BidCo is seeking authority to use capacity on the ARSAT-2 spacecraft. These proceedings have been designated as permit- but-disclose for purposes of the Commission’s ex parte rules. Specifically, I communicated with Erin McGrath, Legal Advisor to Commissioner O’Rielly, via voice-mail and e-mail on February 28 and March 1, 2017, and spoke by telephone with Jose Albuquerque of the Satellite Division on February 27, February 28, and March 1, 2017. The purpose of these discussions was to emphasize the time-sensitive nature of the STA request and seek expedited grant so that AC BidCo can meet urgent demand for its services to air travelers and airline crew members over North America, including in U.S. airspace. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Karis A. Hastings Karis A. Hastings Counsel for AC BidCo LLC karis@satcomlaw.com cc: Erin McGrath Jose Albuquerque Susan Crandall, Cynthia Grady, and Jennifer Hindin, Counsel for Intelsat License LLC
