        Re: Speedcast Communications Inc. – Section 1.65 Letter Regarding 60-Day Special
        Temporary Authorization (“STA”) Request, File No. SES-STA-INTR2019-03005

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        Pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.65, Speedcast
Communications Inc. (“Speedcast”) hereby updates certain information in connection with the above-
referenced request for special temporary authorization (“STA”) to operate certain Ku-band very small
aperture terminal (“VSAT”) remotes in Alaska and Hawaii.

        Specifically, in its application, Speedcast request authority to operate the VSAT remote terminals
with the Intelsat-19 satellite in Alaska and Hawaii. Here, Speedcast clarifies that it also seeks to operate
the terminals within the Contiguous United States (“CONUS”) and all U.S. Territories , and updates its
request to explicitly request that those points be included in the authorized area of operations for all
terminal types during the 60-day STA term.1

       No other information in support of this application has changed. Please do not hesitate to contact
me with any questions regarding this matter.

                                                          Very truly yours,


                                                          /s/Richard R. Cameron
                                                          for Speedcast Communications Inc.

1
 Although two of the subject VSAT remote types (the Intellian V240M and V240MT) are currently
authorized to operate within CONUS under Call Sign E910609, this update will also ensure the third
VSAT remote type (the Sailor 900) has the same operating authority. Speedcast intends the term “U.S.
Territories,” as used in this letter, to encompass Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.
