                                       July 6, 2009

       Vizada, Inc. ("Vizada") requests a grant of special temporary authority ("STA")
to allow the continued provision of C—band ESV services via the Santa Paula Teleport
(call sign KA249). Grant of this STA is in the public interest because it will assure
continuity of service for Vizada‘s customers who now receive C—band ESV service via
the Santa Paula Teleport. Accordingly, Vizada respectfully requests that the Bureau
grant this STA for a period of sixty days. Vizada agrees to continue to operate subject to
the terms and conditions contained in the original STA grant.

       FILE NO. SES—MOD—20070523—00709 AND SES—STA—20090312—00301

                                       July 6, 2009
       At the request of the International Bureau staff, applicant Vizada, Inc. (Vizada)
hereby submits the following information regarding its progress toward full compliance
with the Commission‘s C—Band ESV rules.

        As of the date of this report Vizada is providing C—Band ESV service per the STA
via the Santa Paula Teleport to 28 vessels. This is a typical number of vessels receiving
this service from Vizada via the Santa Paula Teleport at any given point in time. In the
above—referenced modification application, Vizada requested partial temporary waivers
of three subsections of the ESV rules: §§ 25.221 (a)(7), 25.221 (c)(1) and 25.221 (f).
Vizada withdrew the request for the waiver of Section 25.221 (c)(1) by its September 16,
2008 letter to the Commission. Vizada has made the following progress with respect to
compliance with Section 25.221 (a)(7) and 25.221 (f).

       Section 25.221 (a)(7); This subsection requires each C—Band ESV terminal to
cease transmissions automatically if the angle between the orbital location of the target
satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the antenna exceeds 0.5°. At the time of
Vizada‘s May 9, 2009 progress report this capability had been installed on one hundred
and sixty three vessels that were receiving C—Band service via Santa Paula or may do so
in the future. An additional thirty five installations have been completed since that time
and the number of vessels with this capability now totals one hundred and ninety eight.
All of the vessels receiving C—Band service via Santa Paula as of the day of this report
have the capability. There are still a small number of vessels which could possibly
receive C—Band service via Santa Paula at some time in the future for which upgrades for
this capability may still be needed. Efforts are ongoing to complete upgrades on those
vessels as soon as feasible.

       Section 25.221 (f). This subsection requires ESV operators to automatically cease
transmission if an ESV operates in violation of the terms of its coordination. At the time
of Vizada‘s May 9, 2009 progress report this capability had been instalied on one
hundred and sixty three vessels that were receiving C—Band service via Santa Paula or
may do so in the future. An additional thirty five installations have been completed since
that time and the number of vessels with this capability now totals one hundred and
ninety eight. All of the vessels receiving C—Band service via Santa Paula as of the day
of this report have the capability. There are still a small number of vessels which could
possibly receive C—Band service via Santa Paula at some time in the future for which
upgrades for this capability may still be needed. Efforts are ongoing to complete
upgrades for those vessels as soon as feasible.


         Vizada also notes that the possibility that a vessel which has not yet been outfitted
with this capability might in the future operate in an area for which coordination is
required is substantially mitigated by the successful frequency coordination of virtually
all areas served via the Santa Paula Teleport for which coordination is required. Further,
the number of ESVs receiving C—Band service via the Santa Paula teleport which
typically operate in areas for which coordination is required is small (only 4 on the day of
this report, all of which havethe capability). Given the small number of vessels
operating in waters for which coordination is required and the very small area that has not
