Dear Mr. Wiltshire:
On May 5, 2006, WB Holdings 1 LLC (WB) filed the above-captioned applications for two new 
Ka- Band1 gateway earth stations.2 These applications were amended on August 11, 2006.  For 
the reason detailed below, we dismiss the applications as defective without prejudice to refiling. 
Section 25.115(e) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.115(e), provides that 
“[A]pplications to license individual earth station operating in 20/30 GHz band shall be filed on 
FCC Form 312, Main Form and a Schedule B, and shall also include the information describe in 
Section 25.138”.  WB did not submit the antenna radiation patterns required by Section 25.138(d)
of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.138(d). Therefore, the applications, as amended, are 
incomplete.
Additionally, the applications, as amended, indicate that the stations’ “necessary bandwidth” is 
22.5 megahertz. The frequency coordination report filed as Exhibit B; however, indicates that 
WB coordinated a bandwidth only up to 20.3 megahertz.  Thus, WB must resolve this 
discrepancy in any refiling.
While we dismiss the applications on the above basis, we take the opportunity to apprise you of 
other issues we have should WB choose to re-file the applications.
  
1 18.3-18.8, 19.7-20.2, 28.35-28.6, 29.25-30.0 GHz bands.
2 Station call sign E060158 will be located in Carlton, Minnesota and station call sign E060159 will be 
located in Gig Harbor, Washington.

We note that there are discrepancies in the coordinates for the earth station sites provided in the
applications and the frequency coordination studies.  Specifically, for station call sign E060158,
WB lists the north latitude coordinate as 46o 39’ 47”, and the longitude coordinate as 92o 28’ 30”
in response to Questions E11 and E12 of the application.  However, the frequency coordination 
study lists the latitude coordinate as 46o 39’ 45”and the longitude coordinate as 92o 28’ 48”.  For 
station call sign E060159, WB lists the north latitude coordinate as 47o 20’ 42” and the longitude 
coordinate as 122o 36’ 40” in the application.  However, the frequency coordination study lists
the latitude coordinate as 47o 20’ 18.6” and the longitude coordinate as 122o 36’ 34.2”.  These 
discrepancies should be resolved should WB choose to refile its application.
In light of the above, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1)3 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 
25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules on delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. 
§ 0.261, we dismiss the applications, as amended, as defective without prejudice to refiling.4  
Sincerely,

information, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).
