  • to include USABSS-16's parameters, DIRECTV shall not cause greater interference than that which would occur from the current USA Region 2 Plan assignments at the nominal 110° W.L. orbital location to other BSS or feeder link assignments, or other services or satellite systems, operating in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. DIRECTV requests a waiver of the requirement, in Section 25.215 of the Commission's rules, that DBS antennas meet a cross-polarization isolation of 30 dB within the primary coverage area of the antenna. The Commission adopted this cross-polarization requirement in 2002, applying the rule to new applications and applications for replacement satellites. While this order constitutes a new authorization for the DIRECTV 5 space station, the already-orbiting satellite was authorized under

  • on DIRECTV's successful physical coordination of the DIRECTV 9S satellite's stationkeeping volume with the satellites of Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (MSV) at the nominal 101º W.L. location, as sought by MSV. We find, however, that a frequency coordination condition is warranted as a condition on DIRECTV's request for a waiver of the cross-polarization isolation requirements of Sections 25.210 and 25.215 of the Commission's rules. Further, we impose the standard frequency coordination condition required for Ka-band systems. In granting this authorization, we conclude that the DBS space station will provide DBS national and local-into-local programming, while the FSS Ka-band space station will allow for the expansion of local-into-local services into additional markets by providing additional capacity for backhauling the signals of
