 fixed-  satellite  service.  Motorola  and  Teledesic  are  parties  to  a  transaction  in  which  Motorola  has  agreed  to  assign  its  Millenium  GSO  FSS  license  to  Teledesic.  (See  File  No. 
 SAT-  ASG-  20010109-  00005.)  The  parties  are  seeking  an  extension,  or  waiver,  of  the  first  construction  milestone  until  ninety  days  after  action  on  the  pending  application  for  assignment  of

 S2136  SAT-  MOD-  20020201-  00011  Teledesic,  LLC 
 Modification 


 Teledesic,  LLC  has  filed  an  application  to  modify  its  authorization  to  launch  and  operate  a  non-  geostationary  fixed-  satellite  service  satellite  system.  Teledesic  proposes  to  use  a  constellation 
 of  30  operational  medium-  Earth  orbit  satellites  in  five  orbit  planes,  in  an  altitude  of  10,930  km  and  orbit  inclination  of  46.7°.  Two  of  the  five  orbit  planes  will  have  six  satellites  each,  including 
 an  active  spare  per  orbit.  The  other  three  planes  will  have  six  satellites  plus  an  in-  orbit  spare  in  each  plane.  Continuous  commercial  service  is  anticipated  with  the  launch  of  the  first  12 
 satellites.  The  satellites  will  operate  in  the  28.6  -  29.1  GHz  bands  (uplink)  and  18.8-  19.3  GHz  (downlink)  frequency  bands. 


 NOTE:  Ex  Parte  Status  of  this  Proceeding.  The  application  listed  above  is  restricted  under  the  Commission's  ex  parte  rules.  See  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  1.1200,  1.1208.  In  order  to  assist  the 
 Commission  in  developing  a  complete  record  on  which  a  well-  reasoned  decision  can  be  made,  we  hereby  redesignate  this  application  proceeding  as  "permit  but  disclose."  We  conclude  that 
 such  treatment  would  best  serve  the  public  interest  in  light  of  the  complex  legal  and  technical  issues  raised  by  the  application.  Accordingly,  effective  today,  ex  parte  presentations  in  this 
 proceeding  are  subject  to  the  disclosure  requirements  set  forth  in  Section  1.1206  of  the  Commission's  rules.  47  C.  F.  R.  §  1.1206. 


 This  action  is  taken  pursuant  to  the  authority  found  in  Sections  4(  i)  and  303  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  47  U.  S.  C.  §§  154(  i)  and  303;  and  pursuant  to  Sections  0.261  and 
 1.1200  of  the  Commission's  Rules.  See  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  0.261,  and  1.1200.
