application be amended such that the application requests the use of Esatel's 5 .6 meter dish to
communicate with the Eutelsat Atlantic Bird 2 satellite at 8 degrees W .L . on in the
conventional Ku-band uplink frequencies (14 .0-14 .5 GHz) and the international Ku-band
downlink frequencies (10 .95-11 .2 GHz and 11,45 to 11 .7 GHz) . ESATEL no longer seeks
authority to communicate with the satellite using extended Ku-band frequencies in the 13.75-
14 .0 GHz band . ESATEL acknowledges that, consistent with the requirements of NG104 of the
Table of Frequency Allocations, its transmissions in the 10 .95-11 .2 GHz and 11.45-11 .7 GHz
bands must be limited to international communications .

        Please call Esatel's attorney, Keil J . Ritterpusch, of Pierson & Burnett, LLP, at (703)
683-3044 if you should have any questions related to the requests in this letter or otherwise e-

letter.
