Mr. Kotler replied that the staff did not need any additional information at this time. The undersigned counsel also emphasized the importance to Row 44 of a near-term grant of the requested STA in order to allow the Test Plan to proceed, with the objective of gathering data concerning the actual operations proposed in its underlying license application (FCC File No. SES-LIC-20080508-00570). Such data would then be made available to the International Bureau as it considers final action on the license application. 2000 K STREET, NW SUITE 600 | WASHINGTON, DC 20006‐1809 TEL 202.429.8970 | FAX 202.293.7783 | WWW.LERMANSENTER.COM
