              Dear Ms. Dortch:

              Intelsat LLC ("Intelsat") files this letter to supplement the above referenced
              applications seeking a waiver of Section 2.106 of the FCC‘s rules, Footnote
              NG169 to the U.S. Table of Frequency Allocations to allow five of Intelsat‘s —
              Hagerstown, Maryland earth stations (call signs EO30082, E030071, EO30101,
              EO30103, and E030100) to operate in the 3650—3700 MHz frequency band on a
              co—primary basis with terrestrial fixed services within a 90 km exclusion zone
              located entirely within an existing grandfathered zone. Specifically, Intelsat
              would agree to accept a condition in an order granting these applications that
              would state that Intelsat‘s current grandfathered antennas located at Clarksburg,
              Maryland (call signs KA259, KA260, KA261, KA262, KA263, KA264, and
              KA275) would lose their grandfathered status six months after the grant date of
              the above applications. Such a condition would serve the public interest by
              ensuring that, within a reasonable time period, the portion of the exclusion zone
              around the current Clarksburg, Maryland grandfathered antennas that is not
              overlapped by the requested smaller exclusion zone around the Hagerstown,
              Maryland antennas would be free from the requirement that wireless broadband
              operators coordinate with Intelsat prior to operating." This condition further
              serves the public interest by allowing Intelsat a reasonable amount of time in
              which to transition customers operating in the 3650—3700 MHz frequency band
              on the Clarksburg antennas to the Hagerstown antennas and thus ensure
              continuity of service.

              For the reasons set forth in the applications and this supplemental letter, Intelsat
              respectfully requests that the applications be granted.
