ATTACHMENT A Public Interest Statement Pacific Video Resources (“PVR”) has completed its initial earth station equipment tests by a sending a signal from its earth station transmitting equipment directly to its earth station receiving equipment. Now, PVR wishes to confirm its operational readiness to offer subscription video conferencing services to the public. In order to do this, PVR must determine that its equipment can communicate with U.S. licensed satellites by conducting technical trials. These trials will confirm that the alignment of PVR’s earth station transmit/receive antennas is correct in relation to the U.S. licensed satellites with which it seeks authorization to communicate.1 Each trial will consist of purchasing time on a U.S. licensed satellite for transmission and reception of test signals. Specifically, PVR will transmit test signals in its full 14000 - 14500 MHz of bandwidth (uplink) to a U.S. licensed satellite. This satellite, in turn, will send responsive signals in selectable frequencies2 within the 11700 - 12200 MHz bandwidth (downlink), which will be received and monitored by an independent earth station facility for quality assessment. The ultimate purpose of the technical trials is to confirm that PVR’s earth station transceivers and related equipment are capable of communicating with U.S. licensed satellites with an occurrence of error that is within commercially acceptable limits for this type of service. 1 See pending Assignment application of Earth Station E890346 from Compaq Computer Corporation. to Pacific Video Resources, Submission I.D.
