Nature of Service: Direct to Home Fixed Satellite, Fixed Satellite Service On December 6, 2013, the Satellite Division granted in part, with conditions, the petition of New Skies Satellites B.V., IBFS File No. SAT-MPL-20130906-00114, to modify the terms of the grant of U.S. market access for its NSS-806 space station. Specifically, New Skies' grant of U.S. market access is modified to: (1) reflect the relocation of NSS-806 from the 40.5° W.L. orbital location to the 47.5º W.L. orbital location; (2) allow NSS-806 to provide Fixed-Satellite Service to the United States in the 3700-4200 MHz (space-to-Earth), 5925-6425 MHz (Earth-to-space), 11.70-11.95 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 14.0-14.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency bands; (3) allow NSS-806 to provide direct-to-home services in the 3700-4200 MHz and 11.7-11.95 GHz bands within the United States and between the United States and specified foreign markets; and (4) allow New Skies to re-point the steerable conventional Ku-band spot beam on NSS-806 from its current pointing over South America to a pointing that will cover the United States and the Caribbean, and allow New Skies to re-point the steerable spot beam anywhere within the visible Earth, subject to the parameters described in its petition. The Satellite Division deferred action on New Skies' petition to access the U.S. market via NSS-806 from 47.5° W.L. in extended C-band frequencies.
