 In  a  Satellite  Division  Order  released  today,  the  Division  cancelled  the  license  of  Leo  One  Worldwide,  Inc.  (“  Leo  One”).  1  The  Division  found  that  Leo  One  did  not  meet  system 
 implementation  milestones  set  forth  in  its  non-  voice,  non-  geostationary  satellite  system  license.  2  The  Order  recognized  that  Leo  One  voluntarily  submitted  its  license  for  cancellation.  Thus,  the 
 spectrum  licensed  to  Leo  One  is  now  available  to  new  applicants.  New  applications  for  this  spectrum  will  be  processed  under  the  first-  come,  first-  served  procedure  described  in  the
