On February 5, 2007, Virtual Geosatellite, LLC surrendered its license to construct a non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO)
fixed satellite service (FSS) system in the Ku-band.  See Letter from Raul R. Rodriguez and Stephen D. Baruch, Attorneys for
Virtual Geosatellite, LLC to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Federal Communications Commission (dated February 5, 2007).
Under the avoidance of in-line interference events sharing protocol for the Ku-band NGSO FSS, a number of licensees could
potentially share the available spectrum.  Accordingly, the NGSO FSS Ku-band spectrum has been, and remains, open to
applications that will be processed under the Commission's first-come, first-served processes.  See Establishment of Policies and
Service Rules for the Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit, Fixed Satellite Service in the Ku-Band, Report and Order, 17 FCC Rcd
