Echostar Tweeners

Sponsored Links
Echostar has a permit for a tweener BSS satellite at 86.5W and Spectrum Five has a tweener BSS permit for 114.5W.

In browsing the FCC files, I stumbled onto this nugget. Dish has leased 100 percent of the capacity on a pending (no permit issued yet) BSS tweener at 105.5W. SES would be the owner and the permit is waiting approval with opposition from Directv (similar opposition to what we saw with 86.5W and 114.5W before those permits were issued).

From Directv's opposition included in the filing: "Indeed, SES has already leased "the entire communications capacity ( including all spare capacity)" on its proposed tweener at the 105.5 W.L. orbital location to Echostar - foreclosing the opportunity for new entry from that slot"
