EMC Modification Applications E000127, E000128, E980156, E980250 Page 1 of 2 Answer to Item 43 Description of Modification Requested Emerging Markets Communications, Inc. (“EMC”) requests permanent authority, pursuant to Section 25.117 of the FCC Rules, to change the remote control point for each of the following earth stations located in Kapolei, Hawaii, from the Telesat Network Services, Inc. (“Telesat”) Network Operations Control Center (“NOC”) in Allan Park, Ontario, Canada, to the EMC NOC in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Call Sign/ Description Authorized File Nos.

The FCC authorized the assignment of these earth station licenses to EMC in File No. SES-ASG-20090505-00552 on June 10, 2010, and the parties consummated this assignment on June 23, 2010. Effective that date and for a 60-day period, the FCC granted Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to EMC in each of the STA file numbers captioned above to change the remote control point for each of these stations to Buenos Aires. The permanent authority EMC is requesting in the modification applications EMC is filing today for E000127, E000128, E980156, and E980250 will replace this temporary authority. As explained in previous submissions in File No. SES-ASG-20090505-00552, EMC’s NOC is manned 24/7 and constantly monitors all operations of EMC’s global network, including the Kapolei earth stations. There is no earth station had EMC’s NOC in Argentina.1 However, 1 EMC notes that it operates and holds radio frequency licenses for two (2) earth station teleports in Europe (in Raisting, Germany and Redditch, U.K.). EMC is not required to hold a license to provide service or operate earth stations in Argentina as EMC does not provide service to customers or operate earth station facilities there. DC01/GRIFJ/421402.2

EMC Modification Applications E000127, E000128, E980156, E980250 Page 2 of 2 the NOC has the ability to immediately shut down the Kapolei stations if required and necessary to avoid causing undue interference into the operations of other stations. The EMC remote control point in Argentina is connected to the Kapolei earth stations through redundant/protected links integrated into terrestrial and sub-sea cable networks. Specifically, EMC´s NOC in Argentina is connected through two redundant links locally to a Tier 1 global provider’s protected network and connected via DS3 link to EMC’s PoP in Los Angeles. From EMC’s PoP in Los Angeles, EMC uses its own leased capacity on sub-sea cable systems to connect to the Kapolei earth stations. EMC has one (1) employee, a U.S. citizen, on duty at the Kapolei earth stations during the business day to deal with operational and maintenance issues. The name of this employee and his contact information are as follows: Douglas Anthony Harris 91-340 Farrington Highway Kapolei, HI 96707 Phone: 808-682-2989 or 808-682-4170 Fax: 808-682-3856 Cell: 305-890-7437 Mr. Harris is available for call-out at other hours. The change in remote control points is the only change requested in these modification applications. EMC certifies that all other Schedule B information remains as it appears on each existing license. Grant of these applications will serve the public interest. Telesat will not provide remote control services for the earth stations now that the licenses for these stations have been assigned to EMC, and EMC does not have personnel in Hawaii who can control the stations 24/7 on site. Furthermore, it is more cost effective and efficient for EMC to control the stations from its existing remote control point. For these reasons, EMC respectfully requests that the Commission grant these modification applications. DC01/GRIFJ/421402.2
