Dear Ms. Dortch:

        DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”), through its counsel, hereby elects common carrier
status for the Advanced Wireless Service (“AWS-4”) licenses to be held by its subsidiary,
Gamma Acquisition L.L.C. (“Gamma”), upon modification of its Ancillary Terrestrial
Component license (Call Sign E060430) by the Commission.1 DISH also elects non-common
carrier status for the AWS-4 licenses to be held by its subsidiary, New DBSD Satellite Services
G.P., upon modification of its Ancillary Terrestrial Component license (Call Sign E070272).

        In addition, DISH is notifying the Commission that Gamma plans to modify its AWS-4

the licenses to non-common carrier at that time. Gamma will make the appropriate filings to
effect those modifications at the appropriate time.

         Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned with any questions.
