 EXPEDITED CONSIDERATION REQUESTED
REQUESTED ACTION DATE: AUGUST 21, 2008                                      HNS Licensee Sub, LLC
                                                                            Modification Application
                                                                               Call Sign WE2XEW
                                                                                        August 2008


         MODIFICATION APPLICATION TO ADD POINTS OF COMMUNICATION


          By this application, HNS License Sub, LLC (“Hughes”), hereby requests a modification

of its license for experimental Call Sign WE2XEW, File Nos. 0011-EX-PL-2006, 0023-EX-ML-

2008, and 0047-EX-ML-2008, to add AMC-2 (Call Sign S2134), AMC-9 (Call Sign S2434), and

Horizons 1 (HZ-1) (Call Sign S2475) as additional points of communication in the Ku-band

fixed-satellite service frequencies. The addition of AMC-2, AMC-9, and Horizons 1 as points of

communication would provide valuable new satellite platforms that will enable Hughes to

continue its domestic testing, demonstration and training operations of mobile terminals in the

continental United States. Further, the addition of these points of communication will increase

Hughes’ ability to find suitable satellite capacity that will ensure its ability to satisfy its

obligation not to cause harmful interference through the terminals it will be using. Having the

flexibility to look to multiple satellites for the option that has the lowest potential for causing

undesired interference to adjacent satellites ensures the minimization of the potential for

undesired interference resulting from the ongoing experimentation program.

          This modification application proposes no change whatsoever to the technical

characteristics of WE2XEW as authorized in its May 2, 2008 grant. All technical operations

with these satellites will be consistent with the terms of the existing authorization.

          In view of the benefits outlined above and the absence of a need for detailed technical

review, Hughes respectfully requests the expeditious consideration and grant of this application.

Specifically, Hughes requests that the application be granted on or before August 21, 2008.
