S2129SAT-MOD-20070730-00107 DG Consents Sub, Inc.
The Bureau has determined that DG Consents Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DigitalGlobe, Inc., has met the fifth and last
milestone associated with this authorization, the Bring All the Satellites in the Licensed System Into Operation milestone, pursuant to
Section 25.164(b)(5) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.164(b)(5).  The Bureau previously determined that DG Consents Sub, Inc.
had met the Contract Execution, Critical Design Review, Commence Construction, and Launch the First Satellite in the System milestones
for this authorization, thereby reducing the $5 million bond amount by 80% to $1 million.  See Public Notice Report No. SAT-00484, DA
No. 07-4711, rel. November 23, 2007.  Consequently, DG Consents Sub, Inc. may reduce the bond amount by the final 20% or $1 million as
provided in the Amendment of the Commission's Space Station Licensing Rules and Policies, First Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, IB Docket No. 02-34, 18 FCC Rcd 10760 (2003); Amendment of the Commission's Space Station Licensing Rules
and Policies, First Order on Reconsideration and Fifth Report and Order, IB Docket No. 02-34, 19 FCC Rcd 12637 (2004).  Thus, DG
Consents Sub, Inc. has satisfied all of its milestone requirements and accordingly may remove the bond for this authorization.
