Fixed Satellite and Terrestrial Systems in the Ku-Band

This document addresses the Petitions for Reconsideration from Skybridge L.L.C. ("Skybridge"); and Hughes Communications, Inc., Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc. and Hughes Network Systems, a division of Hughes Electronics Corporation ("Hughes") filed in response to the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making ("First R&O"). The proceeding addresses a request by Skybridge to allow non-geostationary orbit ("NGSO") fixed satellite services ("FSS") to share various frequencies in the Ku-Band with existing geostationary orbit ("GSO") satellite services and terrestrial services. Our action herein addresses aspects of the Skybridge Reconsideration Petition relating to NGSO FSS sharing with terrestrial services and Federal Government operations, as well as the Hughes Reconsideration Petition relating to our radio frequency ("RF") safety rules requiring warning labels and recommending professional installation for NGSO FSS subscriber antennas.
