Ms. Marlene H. Dortch December 2, 2010 Page 2 In further support of this request, Intelsat is attaching Exhibits A and B, which contain waiver requests, as well as technical information that demonstrates that the operation of the earth station will be compatible with its electromagnetic environment and will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating terrestrial facility. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur due to transmissions to or from its earth station, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA request will allow Intelsat to help launch the Hispasat 1E satellite to the 30.0° W.L. location. This, in turn, will help to provide additional Ku—band capacity over Europe, North Africa and the Americas, and thereby promote the public interest. ‘ — Please direct any questions regarding this STA’request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. | Respectfully subm1tted Susan H.
