For example, PanAmSat sales personnel report that in several countries in which customers have asked local regulatory authorities for permission to uplink to a PanAmSat satellite, the regulators have responded, contrary to the ostensible policy in the country, that Intelsat is the only organization authorized to provide fixed satellite services.

 PanAmSat To Take It Slow on Purchase of Loral Satellite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Frownfelter said PanAmSat expects the negotiations with Loral to conclude by the end of the year, in line with its plan to order a satellite by the first quarter of 2004.
PanAmSat took a similar approach when it bought three satellites from Orbital Sciences Corp. in 2001, when that firm was in financial trouble.
Frownfelter said PanAmSat has decided not to designate replacement satellites by adding an R to their original name, which had been a common company practice.

Consequently, we render PanAmSat's authorization null and void, and the orbit locations that had been assigned to PanAmSat are available for reassignment to a qualified applicant in the second Ka-band "processing round." As a result, we also dismiss PanAmSat's Applications for Modification of License and for Extension of Milestone Schedule.
PanAmSat requested the ISLs in order to integrate its two satellites with seven other authorized Ka-band satellites acquired from Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc. PanAmSat noted that the Hughes satellite authorizations did not contain milestone schedules because they contemplated the use of ISLs for which the Commission had not yet assigned spectrum.
PanAmSat's reliance on its pending license modification and extension applications as a basis for failing to satisfy the first of its milestones is without merit.
