               SUPPLEMENT AND REQUEST FOR COORDINATED ACTION


       Pursuant to prior consultation with the Bureau staff, the following supplemental
information is being filed on the record of the Application for Transfer of Control of Shared Data
Networks LLC (“SDN”) (SES-T/C 20081204-01724) (“Transfer of Control Application”). The
Transfer of Control Application was accepted for filing on July 22, 2009 (Public Notice Report
No. SES-01157). It had been originally submitted on December 4, 2008, requesting authority to
transfer control of three VSAT networks, E050007, E920415 and E881406. During its pendency
and prior to acceptance of the Transfer of Control Application, the authorization for one of the
three networks (E881406) expired. Accordingly, on June 4, 2009, SDN applied for an STA to
cover the expired facilities on an interim basis (“STA Application”). On July 7, 2009 SDN filed
a full FCC Form 312 application for a VSAT Network license (“Full Application”) which, like
the STA Application, was aimed at covering the expired facilities for a full license term. The
Commission granted the STA Application for a 60 day period effective August 4, 2009 and
released the Public Notice of this action on August 5, 2009 (Public Notice Report No. SES-
01162). The Full Application was accepted for filing by the Commission on July 15, 2009 (SES-
LIC-20090707-00840) and this was announced by Public Notice Report No. SES-01155. The
Call Sign being used by the staff in granting the STA Application and for processing the Full
Application is E881406, the same call sign previously used to cover these facilities.


       Because the dates of the release of the two notices for the Transfer of Control Application
and the Full Application are so close in time with respect to each other, it is not clear which will
be reached first for final action. With that in mind, and in the interest of having a full and
complete record before the Commission prior to its acting on either the Transfer of Control
Application or the Full Application, SDN does hereby supplement the record regarding the filing
and the grant of the STA Application and the pending status of the Full Application for the
facilities formerly licensed as E881406. The facilities described in those applications remain
unchanged from the ones covered by the expired license.            Accordingly, it is respectfully
requested that the Commission defer action on the Transfer of Control Application until the
processing of the Full Application for E881406 is completed and further ask that the


Commission take note of the fact that the STA Application was granted August 4, 2009. SDN
further respectfully requests that the authority petitioned for in the Transfer of Control
Application include authority to transfer control of these additional authorizations.         A
complementary request is being filed contemporaneously with this Supplement relating to the
Full Application. Such synchronized processing will be administratively efficient, allow for an
uninterrupted continuation of services and will be in the public interest.




                                                              Respectfully Submitted,


                                                              SHARED DATA NETWORKS LLC
                                                              By: Robert G. Allen       s:s
                                                                  Its Counsel




August 11, 2009
