 File No. SES-ASG-20080721-01006  
Dear Mr. Ruhl:
On July 21, 2008, Pioneer Long Distance, Inc. filed by paper the above-captioned application to 
assign an earth station license. For reasons discussed below, we dismiss the application as 
defective, without prejudice to refiling.1
Section 25.112 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112, requires the Commission to return, 
as unacceptable for filing, any earth station application that is not substantially complete, contains 
internal inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission's rules.  Pioneer 
Long Distance, Inc.’s application does not comply with the Commission's rules, which renders it 
unacceptable and subject to dismissal.  The deficiency is as follows:
Pursuant to Section 25.119(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.119(c), assignment of 
license must be filed electronically through the International Bureau Filing system using Form 
312, including Schedule A.  Pioneer Long Distance, Inc. did not submit its application 
electronically.
Consequently, we dismiss Pioneer Long Distance, Inc.’s application.  In preparing any 
application to be refiled, Pioneer Long Distance, Inc. may wish to refer to the International 
Bureau Filing System (IBFS) website at www.fcc.gov/ibfs.  If you need any technical assistance 
with IBFS, please contact the IBFS help desk at 202-418-2222.
Sincerely,
Scott A. Kotler

1 If Pioneer Long Distance, Inc. refiles an application in which the deficiency identified in this letter has 
been corrected but otherwise identical to the one dismissed, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 
C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).
