                   Description of Transaction for Pro Forma Assignment of
                             Satellite Earth Station Authorization

         Pursuant to Section 25.119(c) of the Commission’s rules,1 SBC Internet Services, Inc.
(“SBC Internet”) hereby notifies the Commission of the pro forma assignment of receive-only
satellite earth station registration, Call Sign E050211. As part of an internal corporate
reorganization that occurred on October 31, 2011, SBC Internet contributed the satellite earth
station registration to Southwest Internet Services LLC (“Southwest Internet”). Immediately
thereafter, Southwest Internet merged into Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (“SWBT”).
SWBT is the surviving entity and holds the satellite earth station registration now that the
transaction has been completed.2

       As Southwest Internet was and SBC Internet and SBWT are wholly owned subsidiaries
of AT&T Inc.,3 no substantial change in control of the satellite earth station registration, Call
Sign E050211 occurred.4 The Commission has stated that, in situations “where no substantial
change of control will result from the transfer or assignment, grant of the application is deemed
presumptively in the public interest.”5

       Response to Item A20

       AT&T Inc. is a Delaware corporation. Its address is 208 South Akard Street, Dallas, TX
75202. AT&T Inc. is a holding company.
