Application for Modification of
Earth Station License KA-3 12



REPLY OF TELENOR SATELLITE, INC. TO COMMENTS OF PANAMSAT

         Telenor Satellite, Inc. (“Telenor”) hereby files this response to the comments tiled

on November 1,2002, by PanAmSat Corporation (“PAS”) in the above-referenced

proceeding.’ Telenor is filing this response for the purpose of clarifying for the

Commission the issue raised by PAS.

         Telenor has filed its application to add ALSAT as a point of communication and

to use additional frequencies and emissions with its antenna. PAS in its comments claims

that it cannot determine what C-band emissions, if any, that Telenor is proposing to use

to communicate with the Inmarsat-2 satellite at 98 degrees West longitude. PAS states

that the Commission should require Telenor to provide further information regarding this

usage.

         Telenor notes that the antenna in question is already licensed by the Commission

to communicate with the Inmarsat-2 satellite at 98 West. Telenor does not by virtue of

the additional authority it seeks herein intend to modify its existing uses with respect to

this satellite. Accordingly, Telenor does not object if the Commission concludes that it is


’ Comments of PanAmSat Corporation, File No. SES-MOD-200209 19-O 1633, filed Nov. 1,2002.


necessary to impose a condition on the modified license that would prevent Telenor from

expanding its use of the antenna in question with the Inmarsat-2 satellite at 98 West

beyond what is permitted under Telenor’s current license. Such limitation would, of

course, apply only with respect to this one satellite.

       Telenor believes that the imposition of this condition with respect to the Inmarsat-

2 satellite at 98 West would address fully the concerns expressed by PAS and that there is

no additional inquiry required with respect to this matter. The Commission should

therefore deny as moot the request in the PAS comments for additional clarification.



                                         Respectfully submitted,

                                         TELENOR SATELLITE, INC.
