Dear Ms. Dortch:

        DISH Operating L.L.C., EchoStar 77 Corporation, and EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation
hereby notify the Commission for informational purposes that the anticipated launch date of the
QuetzSat-1 satellite has been pushed back to accommodate the investigation into the recent failure of the
Proton-M Briz-M rocket to deploy the Ekspress-AM4 communications satellite into a geosynchronous
transfer orbit. We are working with International Launch Services to finalize a new launch date for the
QuetzSat-1 satellite. Once we receive a firm launch date, we will notify the Commission accordingly.

        If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

                                                     Respectfully submitted,


                                                     ________/s/____________
