                                                  RE: Call Sign KA3 13
                                                      File No.: SES-MOD-20060524-00880

Dear Mr. Fagan:

        On May 24, 2006, Telenor Satellite, Inc. (Telenor) filed the above-captioned application
to modify its conventional Ku-band’ earth station license which operates in Southbury,
Connecticut to add a 6.1 meter antenna. Telenor states that it plans to use this antenna to
communicate with ALSAT-designated satellites. Pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)(1) of the
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 5 25.1 12(a)(l), we dismiss the application as defective without
prejudice to refiling.

       In response to question E48 of Schedule B, Telenor lists the maximum EIRP for emission
42MOG7W as 86.01 dBW and for emission 72MOG7W as 88.25 dBW. These values exceed the
83.1 dBW level Telenor lists as the Total EIRP for all carriers in response to question E40.
Therefore, the application is inconsistent.

         Telenor lists ALSAT as the point of communication for this earth station. ALSAT may
only be listed as a point of communication for routinely authorized earth stations.* In response to
question E49 on Schedule B, Telenor lists the Maximum EIRP density per carrier as 45.8
dBW/4kHz for the following digital emissions: 100KG7W, 32KOG7W, 43K8G7W, 45KOG7W,
76K8G7W, 9KOOG7W, 20MOG7W, 2M29G7W, 36MOG7W, 42MOG7W, 72MOG7W,
lM60GlF, 200KGlF, 400KGlF, and 800KGlF. This corresponds to a power density at the
input of the antenna flange of -1 1.30 dBW/4kHz. This value exceeds the maximum input power
spectral density limit of -14 dBW/ 4kHz for routinely authorized earth stations in Section
25.212(c) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 5 25.212(c). Therefore, Telenor may not
designate ALSAT as a point of communication for the proposed emissions and must identify the
specific satellites with which the earth station will communicate. Furthermore, in accordance
with Section 25.220(e)( I), Telenor is required to include with the application a certification from
each target satellite operator that it has reached agreements with adjacent satellite operators
regarding the non-routine operations. The application does not include this certification.

’   11.7-12.2GHz and 14.0-14.5GHz.

        In light of the above, pursuant to Section 25.1 12(a)( of the Commission’s rules, 47
C.F.R. 25.1 12(a)(l) and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47
C.F.R. 9 0.261, we dismiss the application as defective without prejudice to refiling.
