                          Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          PanAmSat Licensee Corp. and PanAmSat H-2 Licensee Corp. (“PanAmSat
                          Licensees”), by counsel, respectfully request an additional 180 days—until October
                          29, 2010—to complete one aspect of the pro forma transfer of control of space
                          station and earth station licenses approved in the above-referenced proceedings.

                          On December 3, 2009 the Commission authorized two non-substantial changes to
                          the ownership of the PanAmSat Licensees: (1) the migration of several entities from
                          Bermuda companies to Luxembourg companies and (2) the dissolution of Intelsat
                          (Poland) Sp. z o.o.1 Pursuant to Section 25.119 of the Commission’s rules, 47
                          C.F.R. § 25.119, the deadline for consummating these pro forma transactions was
                          60 days after authorization—February 1, 2010. The Luxembourg migration was
                          consummated effective December 15, 2009.2 On January 22, 2010, the FCC
                          granted the request of the PanAmSat Licensees to extend the closing deadline of the
                          dissolution of Intelsat (Poland) Sp. z o.o. for 90 days, until May 2, 2010.3

                          The dissolution of Intelsat (Poland) Sp. z o.o. remains pending. Additional time is
                          needed to complete the business steps that are necessary prerequisites to the
