DirecTV requested a modification of its operating authority to reorient the DirecTV 5 satellite. The satellite is located at 110.1 degrees west and it operates in the 12.2-12.7 GHz and 17.3-17.8 GHz bands, the FCC International Bureau said in a public notice (http://bit.ly/KJFLD1). LightSquared is seeking a modification of its Msat-2 satellite authorization. The satellite is located at 103.3 degrees west, the bureau said. LightSquared wants to extend the license term by one year “to continue service to its customers not transitioning to its second-generation space station, SkyTerra-1, as well as to provide a backup for that satellite,” it said. Intelsat applied for a 180-day special temporary authority to continue providing fixed satellite service at 43.10 degrees west using the 3700-4200 MHz, 5925-6425 MHz, 11.45-11.70 GHz, 11.7-12.2 GHz, and 14.0-14.5 GHz bands, it said.
