File No. SAT-LOA-20070302-00042
Dear Mr. Janka:
This letter refers to the above referenced application filed on March 2, 2007, for authority to 
launch and operate a satellite using portions of the Ka-band at the 77° W.L. orbital location.  At the time 
this application was filed, the Commission had not announced that the 77° W.L. orbital location was 
available for assignment.1 Consequently, the application is premature and is dismissed without prejudice
to refiling. 
Sincerely,
Robert G. Nelson
Chief, Satellite Division
International Bureau
