comments to FCC in response to Loral’s request that Commission place C-band payload on permitted space station list, New Skies said it had superior rights to Loral that “must not be compromised” because it was by Netherlands to use slot just 0.2 degrees away, and Netherlands had priority over Papua New Guiana under ITU rules. Commission shouldn’t grant Loral unconditional market access, New Skies said, because it would encourage other administrations to make market access decisions without consideration of ITU priorities. Unconditional approval would complicate international coordination for all administrations and their satellite operators, which would be “especially deleterious for the U.S. and its well-developed satellite industry,” New Skies said in comments. It said that in future it would deploy C-band satellite to 120.8 degrees W orbital location on NSS-11 satellite that would include service to U.S. Company said it didn’t object to temporary authorization for Loral if: (1) Loral terminated its C-band operations at least 30 days before NSS-11 satellite was launched or relocated. (2) Loral informed its customers, in writing, that service from 121 degrees W orbital location was being provided temporarily. (3) Loral, within 7 days of receiving notification from New Skies of date it would bring NSS-11 network to use, would informs its customers that service from slot would terminate 30 days before that date. (4) Electronic version of Commission’s permitted list on its web site indicated all limitations and conditions on Loral’s ability to service U.S. market.
