                                                            Special Temporary Authority
                                                            March 2010

                                          Description



       HNS License Sub, LLC ("Hughes"), pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the

Commission‘s Rules, hereby requests that the Commission extend for a further 60 days its

Special Temporary Authority, File No. SES—STA—20080702—00875 ("Initial STA"), as extended

most recently in File No. SES—STA—20100115—00077 ("January Extension"), to operate Hub H

on its VSAT network earth station license, Call Sign E000166, on frequencies that are different

from those specified in Hughes‘s April 2007 modification of license application in File No. SES—

MFS—20070419—00489.

       The Initial STA was necessitated by the fact that an issue with the condition of the

Intelsat Galaxy 26 satellite with which Hub H operates required Hughes to change the

frequencies that were assigned exclusively for Hughes‘s use while the issue was resolved by

Intelsat. Hughes emphasized that only the specific frequencies to which it has exclusive access

were being adjusted (and were subject to further adjustment); the amount of spectrum Hughes

will be using on Hub H to access Galaxy 26 on an interim basis will not exceed the amount of

spectrum Hughes requested in the April 2007 modification of license application, and Hughes

understands that there will be no changes in the technical operating parameters of the antenna —

either in terms of pointing or power — that extend beyond the limits of the Hughes‘s licenses for

the Hub H antenna. See Hughes April 2007 Modification Application, File No. SES—MFS—

20070419—00489, at Exhibit A.


       Hughes is finalizing a modification of license application to reflect reassigned

frequencies on the Hub H. Hughes continues to work with Intelsat to finalize an updated

coordination letter that pertains to the revised frequency assignments. Hughes intends to file the

application as soon as the updated coordination letter has been signed. Until the forthcoming

modification application is acted upon, Hughes will require an additional extension of the STA —

for a period of 60 days, or until May 16, 2010 — to continue operating its Hub H antenna with the

Galaxy 26 satellite on the modified frequencies.

       Hughes reiterates that all frequencies it uses between the Hfib H antenna and Galaxy 26

are available for its exclusive use pursuant to the contract with Intelsat Global Services

Corporation that was referenced in the April 2007 modification application. Hughes also

confirms that there are no changes to the Hub H operating parameters other than the frequency

assignments.

       For all of the foregoing reasons, Hughes respectfully requests that the Commission grant

this request for extension of its Special Temporary Authority for a period of 60 days,

commencing March 17, 2010.
