                                                        File No. SES—MOD—20070831—01189
                                                        File No. SES—STA—20070831—01190


Dear Mr. Simpson:

On August 31, 2007, ATCONTACT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC (ATCONTACT) filed an
application to modify the license for the above—captioned Ku—Band‘ VSAT Network. The
application seeks to add additional remote antennas to the authorization. ATCONTACT also
filed an STA request to operate the additional antennas prior to action on the modification
application. For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss both the modification application and
STA request as defective without prejudice to refiling."

Section 25.112 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112, requires the Commission to return,
as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially complete, contains
internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission‘s rules.
ATCONTACTS application is incomplete, rendering it unacceptable and subject to dismissal.

ATCONTACT did not provide responses to Questions E28—E60 of Schedule B regarding specific
frequency bands, antenna polarization, antenna size, transmit and receive antenna gains, emission
designators, maximum EIRP per carrier, maximum EIRP density per carrier, total input power at
antenna flange, total EIRP for all carriers, modulation and services, elevation and azimuth angles,
satellite arc, and maximum EIRP density toward the horizon.

In addition, Question 28 of Form 312 requires applicants to submit a radiation hazard study as an
exhibit for new transmitting facilities such as the one proposed." ATCONTACT‘s application did
not include this required exhibit.



_      11.7—12.2 and 14.0—14.5 GHz bands.

*    If ATCONTACT refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying
the corrected information, it need not pay an application fee. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.109(d).

3      See 47 CFR. § 1.1307(b).


                               Federal Communications Commission                DA 07—3992


Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R.
§25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission‘s rules on delegations of authority, 47
C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss ATCONTACT‘s applications as incomplete without prejudice to
refiling. We urge ATCONTACT to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its representations
to the Commission in any refiling.




                                             Sincerely,



                                             AusQA. Kether
