 Re:  File  No.:  SES-  LIC-  20060210-  00434 
 Dear  Mr.  Shepard: 
 On  February  10,  2006,  MMT  License  LLC  (MMT)  filed  by  paper  a  Ku-  Band  transmit/  receive  earth  station  application.  For  reasons  discussed  below,  we  dismiss  the  application  as  defective, 
 without  prejudice  to  refiling.  1 
 As  of  November  5,  2004,  all  filings  on  Form  312  must  be  submitted  electronically  through  IBFS.  Please  see  Amendment  of  the  Commission’s  Space  Station  Licensing  Rules  and  Policies,  2000 
 Biennial  Regulatory  Review----  Streamlining  and  the  Revisions  of  Part  25  of  the  Commission’s  Rules  Governing  the  Licensing  of,  and  Spectrum  Usage  of  Satellite  Network  Earth  Stations  and 
 Space  Stations,  IB  Docket  Nos.  02-  34  and  00-  248.  19  FCC  Rcd  19564  (Int’l.  Bur.,  2004).  The  February  10  application  was  filed  by  paper  rather  than  electronically. 


 Also,  a  review  of  your  application  reveals  that  MMT  did  not  submit  all  required  information  on  FCC  Form  312  –  Schedule  B.  Specifically,  MMT  did  not  supply  information  with  respect  to 
 Antenna  Heights  and  Maximum  Power  limits  (Table  B5),  Particulars  of  Operation  (Table  B7),  Remote  Control  Point  Location  (Table  B10),  and  FAA  Notification  (Question  B13). 


 Further,  while  not  a  basis  for  dismissal,  we  note  in  response  to  Question  20  (Nature  of  Service)  on  the  FCC  312  Main  Form,  MMT  indicates  that  the  proposed  earth  station  is  to  operate  in  the 
 secondary-  allocated  Mobile  Satellite  Service  rather  than  the  primary-  allocated  Fixed  Satellite  Service.  The  use  of  the  secondary  allocation  is  inconsistent  with  Section  IV  of  your  application 
 which  proposes  ALSAT-  designated  satellites  as  a  point  of  communication.  The  ALSAT  designation  may  be  used  only  for  earth  stations  operating  pursuant  to  the  primary  FSS  allocation. 
 In  addition  in  response  to  Question  25  (Class  of  Station),  MMT  indicated  that  the  proposed  earth  station  is  a  Mobile  Earth  Terminal.  This  station  class  designation  is  only  appropriate  for 
 terminals  that  transmit  while  in  motion.  If  your  terminal  does  not  transmit  while  in  motion,  but  is  portable  and  transmits  at  various  fixed  locations  for  a  period  less  than  6  months,  its  station  class 
 designation  is  a  Temporary-  Fixed  Earth  Station. 


 1  If  MMT  License  LLC  refiles  an  application  identical  to  the  one  dismissed,  with  the  exception  of 
 supplying  the  missing  information,  it  need  not  pay  an  application  fee.  See  47  C.  F.  R.§  1.  1109(  d).

 If  you  choose  to  refile  the  application,  please  file  it  electronically  via  our  International  Bureau  Filing  System  (IBFS).  The  website  is  www.  fcc.  gov/  ibfs.  If  you  need  any  technical  assistance 
 with  IBFS,  please  contact  the  IBFS  help  desk  at  202-  418-  2222. 
 Accordingly,  pursuant  to  Section  25.112(  a)(  1)  2  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  your  application  as  defective  without  prejudice  to  refiling. 
 Sincerely, 


 Scott  A.  Kotler  Chief,  Systems  Analysis  Branch
