Dear Mr.Rodriguer:
On September 4, 2005, Maritime Telecommunications Network,Inc. (MTN) requested special
temporary authoriation for three 2.4 meter C—Band earth stations o be operated on Carnival
Cruiseline ships in the Gulf Const region affected by Hurricane Katrina." Those ships are being
used in connection with relief effot in that region. The request was granted, conditioned upon
completion of coordination.
Upon further review, and given thatthe ships are not U.S. registered, we are treating this request
as one for a waiver of Section 25.221 of the Commission‘s rules, and in particularof Section
25.221(e) conceming completion of coordination prior to commencement of operations. We
conclude that grant of a waiver would serve the public iterest under the circumstances.
"This waiver will expire on April 1, 2006, and is subjectt the following conditio
1. Until completion of coortination,all operations are on non—harmfulinterference basis Le.
MTN shall neither cause nor claim protectionfrom harmfulinterference. MTN shall cease
operations immediately upon notifiction of harmfulinerference, and shall nform the
Commissionin writing immediately of such an event
2. Any action taken or expensincured asa result of operations pursuant tothis waiver is solely
at MTN‘s on risk.
3. MTN shall complete coontinationfor each earth stationat the earlist possible date, and shall
submit a notifieation of such coordination in accordance with the Public Notice, DA 0S—1671
(released June 15, 2005).
We notethat you alsofiled a 180—day extension request ofthis Special Temporary Authoriy®
