C. 20554 DA 05- 1997 July 12, 2005 Mr. Les Shutter National Digital Television Center, Inc. 4100 East Dry Creek Road Littleton, CO 80125 Re: Call Sign: E050197 File No. SES- LIC- 20050702- 00865 Dear Mr. Shutter: On July 2, 2005, National Digital Television Center, Inc. filed the above- captioned application for authority to operate a Fixed Earth Station in the Extended C- Band 1 and L-Band. 2 Pursuant to Section 25.112( a)( 1) of the Commission's rules, we dismiss this application as defective without prejudice to refiling for failure to identify the specific points of communication for the use of the Extended C- band and L- band frequencies. In Schedule B, you identify ALSAT as the only point of communication. Fixed- satellite service earth stations which are two- degree compliant and operating in the 3700- 4200 MHz, 5925- 6425 MHz, 11700- 12200 MHz, or 14000- 14500 MHz bands can request ALSAT as a point of communication. However, earth stations that seek to operate in the L and Extended- C bands must specify the satellite or satellites with which they seek to communicate. 3 Since this information was not provided in your application, we are unclear as to the intended points of communication for your earth station and your application is therefore incomplete. 1 6625. 42, 6639.27, 6676.45, 6690.42 MHz. 2 1176. 45 and 1575. 42 MHz. 3 Amendment of the Commission’s Regulatory Policies to Allow Non- U.
