Exhibit A HNS License Sub, LLC Call Sign E000166 Special Temporary Authority January 2011 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 an additional 60 days its Special Temporary Authority, File No. SES-STA-20080702-00875 (“Initial STA”), as proposed to be extended most recently in File No. SES-STA-20101112-01425 (“November STA”), 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 authorization 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.

Intelsat has substituted the Galaxy 25 satellite for Galaxy 26 at the same orbital location and assigned frequencies to Hughes for exclusive use via the Hub H antenna. This arrangement is reflected in a modification of license application that Hughes filed in December 2010. See Application of HNS License Sub, LLC for Modification of Call Sign E000166, File No. SES- MFS-20101230-01641 (“Modification Application”). Until the Modification Application is acted upon, Hughes will require an STA – to extend the period of the November STA by 60 days, or until March 17, 2011, on a pre-grant basis – to operate its Hub H antenna with the Galaxy 25 satellite on the frequencies proposed in the Modification Application. Hughes reiterates that all frequencies it uses between the Hub H antenna and Galaxy 25 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 November STA on a pre-grant basis for a period of 60 days, commencing January 16, 2011. 2
