Dear Mr. Albuquerque:

SUBJECT : HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS, LLC, APPLICATIONS FOR MARKET ACCESS
          TO OPERATE U.S. KA—BAND GATEWAY EARTH STATIONS WITH THE
          EUTELSAT 65 WEST A SATELLITE

As you are aware, the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA),
established in 2010, is the sole Papua New Guinea (PNG) Regulatory Agency for
Telecommunications, including authorization of satellites and the submission of satellite network
filings to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). We understand that you have requested
confirmation from Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes) that they are authorized by PNG to
operate their Ka—band mission at 65 W.L. nominal orbital position under the ITU filing designated
RAGGIANA—2.

We confirm that Eutelsat,S.A ("Eutelsat") is fully authorized by PNG as an assignee of the rights of
the RAGGIANA—2 ITU filing, which allows Eutelsat to operate under, and enjoy the rights of, the
RAGGIANA—2 ITU filing which includes the frequency bands 18.3—18.8 GHz, 19.7—20.2 GHz, 27.5—
29.0 GHz and 29.5—30.0 GHz at the 65 W.L. nominal orbital location.

As the Hughes Ka—band mission will operate entirely within the Eutelsat 65 West A satellite which
will be operated at the 65 W.L. nominal orbital position, we can confirm that Hughes, by extension, is
authorized to operate their Ka—band mission at the 65 W.L. nominal orbital position under the ITU
filing designated RAGGIANA—2.

Should there be additional questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to consult with




CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
