SES—MOD—20060718—01192).‘ By this letter, Pegaso clarifies that it seeks the STA solely on a temporary basis. As mentioned in the exhibit to Pegaso‘s request, Pegaso seeks non—interfering, non—protected access to extended Ku—band spectrum due to the current shortage of affordable, conventional Ku—band capacity in the United States. Grant of the STA would allow Pegaso to promptly roll out broadband services to rural Latino and other underserved consumers. Pegaso would continue, however, to actively seek out access to conventional Ku—band capacity as market conditions evolve. It bears mention that the 1.2 meter Andrews antenna described in Pegaso‘s STA request is designed for either conventional or extended Ku—band access. Accordingly, once affordable conventional Ku—band access becomes available, Pegaso will be able to efficiently vacate the extended Ku—band spectrum. ‘ As noted in the STA request, Pegaso would operate the VSAT system with an uplink at the 13.8—14.0 GHz band and a downlink at the 10.95—11.2 GHz and 11.45—11.7 GHz bands.

Covincston & Buriing ue Thank you again for your consideration of Pegaso‘s STA request. Please do not hesitate to direct any questions to the undersigned. Sincerely, Icthu—of[iferr Gerard J. Waidron Matthew S. DelNero Counsel to Pegaso ce: Scott Kotler, Chief, Systems Analysis Branch, Int‘] Bureau
