EXHIBIT A DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED MODIFICATION Shaw Satellite Services Inc. (“Shaw”) seeks Commission consent to modify a license (Call Sign E960474 or “Boatracs license”) to operate mobile earth stations in the 11.7-12.2 GHz (downlink) and 14.0-14.5 GHz (uplink) frequency bands (“Ku band”), contingent upon grant of a concurrently filed application to assign the Boatracs license from Omnitracs, LLC (“Omnitracs”) to Shaw. Specifically, Shaw requests the following license modifications: (1) changing the remote control/hub stations specified under the existing Boatracs license to a Canadian-licensed earth station (Call Sign CZ294) at 2055 Flavelle Boulevard, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5K 1Z8, Telephone: (905) 403-21124; and (2) changing the operating frequencies specified under the existing Boatracs license to 14018.712-14033.288 MHz and 14090.085-14100.085 for uplinks (transmit mode) and 12066.375-12069.375 MHz, 11957.500-11960.500 MHz, and 11710.500- 11713.500 MHz for downlinks (receive mode). All other technical parameters specified under the existing Boatracs license will remain the same. Subject to Commission grant of either the proposed modifications or the concurrently filed request for special temporary authorization, existing mobile earth stations authorized under the Boatracs license will be retuned to communicate with Shaw’s Canadian-licensed remote control/hub station and to operate on the same frequencies authorized under Shaw’s existing Canadian license to operate similar Ku-band mobile earth stations throughout Canada. Mobile earth stations authorized under the Boatracs license currently are and will continue to be used to provide service to U.S. subscribers via U.S.-licensed and non-U.S.-licensed satellites specified 1

on the FCC’s Permitted Space Station List, including the Anik F2 and Galaxy 25 (formerly Telstar 5) satellites. Commission approval of the proposed license modifications will serve the public interest by ensuring continuity of service, facilitating the transition of U.S. subscribers of service provided under the existing Boatracs license to Shaw’s network, and enabling Shaw to provide harmonized subscriber equipment and achieve economies of scale. 2
