File No. SES-LIC-20080917-01212 
Dear Mr. Aviles:
On September 17, 2008, Metrovision Production Group, LLC (Metrovision) filed the above-
captioned application for a license to operate a Conventional Ku-band1 temporary-fixed earth 
station.  Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), 
we dismiss the application as defective without prejudice to refiling. 2
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.  
Metrovision’s application does not comply with the Commission’s rules, which renders it 
unacceptable and subject to dismissal.  The deficiency is as follows:
In the application, Metrovision lists ALSAT-designated satellites as the earth station’s only 
intended points of communication.  Earth station applicants may not list ALSAT satellites as a 
point of communication in cases where the earth station’s power density exceeds the limit in 
Section 25.212(c) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.212(c).  Applicants proposing 
operations exceeding this limit must identify specific satellites as points of communications.3 In 
response to item E49 of Schedule B, Metrovision lists 34.59 dBW/4kHz as the maximum E.I.R.P. 
density per carrier for emission 24M0G7F.  Based on this information, we calculate the power 
density at the input of the antenna flange as -12.26 dBW/4kHz (subtracting the proposed antenna 
gain of 46.85 dBi from the E.I.R.P. density).  This value exceeds the -14.0 dBW/4kHz power 
density limit in Section 25.212(c).  Thus, Metrovision cannot use an ALSAT designation and 
must specifically list all satellites with which the earth station intends to communicate.    
  
1 11.7-12.2 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz.  
2  If Metrovision refiles an application identical to the one dismissed, with the exception of supplying the 
corrected information, it need not pay an application fee.  See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).
3 Amendment of the Commission’s Regulatory Policies to Allow Non-U.S.-Licensed Space Stations to 
Provide Domestic and International Services in the United States, First Order on Reconsideration, IB 
Docket No. 96-111, 15 FCC Rcd 7207, 7210 n.19.

Additionally, applicants requesting authority for earth stations that will operate at a power density 
exceeding the level in Section 25.212(c) must submit a certification described in Section 
25.220(e)(1) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.220(e)(1) from each target satellite 
operator.  Metrovision’s application does not include this certification.  
In light of the above, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) 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 Metrovision’s application without prejudice to refiling.
