1. Status of satellite construction and anticipated launch dates, including any major 
problems or delays encountered. 
 
DBSD successfully launched its G1 satellite on April 14, 2008. 
 
2. Listing of any non-scheduled space station outages for more than 30 minutes and the

geographic areas, the amount of unused system capacity and, if applicable, the actual 
number of subscriber minutes originating or terminating in unserved areas within the 
unserved areas expansion spectrum as a percentage of the actual U.S. system use). 
 
DBSD conducted trials of its hybrid MSS/ATC system and dual-mode devices primarily using

and the Qualcomm Enhanced Geostationary Air Link (“EGAL”) for satellite communications to 
test and demonstrate the capabilities of these systems. 
 
4. Identification of any space stations not available for service or otherwise not performing 
to specifications, the cause or causes of these difficulties and the date any space station 
was taken out of service or the malfunction identified.
