WATERFALL GROUP LTD. EXHIBIT 1 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY CALL SIGN E990444 PENDING APPLICATION SES—LIC—20100615—00705 Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules, Waterfall Group LTD. (Waterfall) requests a 60—day extension of the Special Temporary Authority (STA) granted on June 30, 2010 (SES—STA—20100615—00706), to operate the earth station previously authorized under call sign E990444. The initial STA was granted for 30 days and will expire on July 31, 2010. An application to reinstate the expired license has been filed and was placed on Public Notice on July 7, 2010, so the existing STA will expire before the 30—day public notice period for the underlying application has run. Therefore, an extension of 60 days, through September 29, 2010, is requested to provide ample time for the required public notice period to run and forstaff to review and act on the pending application. Waterfall respectfully submits that grant of the requested STA extension is warranted under the unique circumstances described herein, which supported grant of the initial STA. Uninterrupted operation is necessary to ensure continued telecommunications and data services to an isolated fishing destination on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, approximately 60 miles west of Ketchikan, Alaska. Waterfall is off the road system and accessible only by float plane. Communications via the earth station provide the only connection with the staff and visitors to the Waterfall facility. Lack of communications would substantially disrupt the operation of the facility during its high season, which in turn could interfere with an important economic concern in the region. The facility also supports a critical data connection for airline services, which are essential to travel to and from the area. There is no threat of interference in this isolated location, as proven by the continuous, harmless operation of the facility since initial licensing on February 4, 2000. For these reasons, Waterfall respectfully requests an extension of the existing STA for 60 days, through September 29, 2010, or new license grant, whichever is earlier.
