               Re:    ViaSat, Inc., IBFS File No. SAT-LOI-20160208-00016; Call Sign S2954

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) hereby surrenders the above-referenced authorization to launch
and operate a Ka band geostationary satellite at the nominal 133º W.L. orbital location, which
the Commission granted on October 5, 2016. ViaSat has determined that its original plans for
this location are no longer viable based on a number of considerations. ViaSat is today posting
bonds for its Ka band authorizations at the nominal 79º W.L. and 109º W.L. orbital locations.

       ViaSat appreciates the diligent efforts of Commission staff in this matter. If you have
any questions regarding this submission, please contact the undersigned.



                                             Respectfully submitted,

                                                    /s/

                                             John P. Janka
                                             Elizabeth R. Park
