February 10, 2011 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Request for Special Temporary Authority to Operate VSAT Network with Hagerstown, Maryland Hub E040414 Dear Ms. Dortch: Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests a grant of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”)1 for 60 days, from March 1, 2011 through April 29, 2011, to operate a new VSAT network consisting of up to 50 1.2 m remote terminals communicating with an Intelsat-owned, U.S.-licensed hub -- call sign E040414 located in Hagerstown, Maryland -- in the frequency bands 11.7-12.2 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz prior to grant of permanent operating authority.2 These earth stations will communicate with Intelsat’s Galaxy 28 satellite located at 89.0° W.L. Intelsat plans to use this VSAT network beginning March 1, 2011 to provide corporate data exchange and training videos to a customer’s remote offices. In support of this request, Intelsat incorporates by reference its concurrently filed application for authority to operate this VSAT network. The application contains detailed technical information in Schedule B and Exhibit B that demonstrates that the operation of the remote terminals will not cause harmful interference into any lawfully operating facility. The hub station, E040414, will operate in accordance with the coordinated parameters of its current license. In the extremely unlikely event that harmful interference should occur, Intelsat will take all reasonable steps to eliminate the interference. Grant of this STA request will enable Intelsat to begin providing service to its customer in accordance with the contractual start of service date. This, in turn, will allow the customer to provide data and video services to its remote offices, thus serving the public interest. 1 Intelsat has filed this STA request, an FCC Form 159, a $175.00 filing fee and this supporting letter electronically via the International Bureau’s Filing System (“IBFS”). 2 Intelsat has today filed an application for permanent authority to operate this VSAT network. See Intelsat License LLC Application to Operate VSAT Network, File No. SES-LIC-INTR2011-00429 (filed Feb. 10, 2011).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch February 10, 2011 Page 2 Please direct any questions regarding this STA request to the undersigned at (202) 944—7848. Respectfully submitted, Susan H. Crandall Assistant General Counsel > Intelsat Corporation co: Paul Blais Frank Peace
