Dear Ms. Dortch:

        ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) files this ex parte submission to clarify the record in these
proceedings. ViaSat recently has proposed that the Commission authorize the operation of its
aeronautical mobile terminals under the FSS allocation that exists across all Ka band frequencies
in which ViaSat proposes to operate (18.3-19.3 GHz, 19.7-20.2 GHz, 28.35-29.1 GHz, and 29.5-
30.0 GHz). 1 As there is currently no designation for aeronautical mobile use of the Ka band in
the Commission’s rules, ViaSat has sought a waiver of the Commission’s rules to allow the
proposed operations. 2 Thus, ViaSat respectfully requests that the Commission grant authority
for the proposed operations on a non-conforming, non-interference basis.

        Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions regarding this submission.

                                             Respectfully yours,

                                                /s/

                                             John P. Janka
                                             Elizabeth R. Park
