 | | On May 9, 1997, the Chief, International Bureau, pursuant to delegated authority, authorized PanAmSat to construct, launch, and operate two geostationary-orbit satellites to provide fixed-satellite service in the United States in the 19.7-20.2, 28.35-28.6, and 29.25-30.0 GHz frequency band (“Ka-band”). This authorization was granted as part of the first “processing round” of Ka-band systems. |
 | | Consequently, PanAmSat also asked the Commission to suspend the milestone schedule in its authorization pending the assignment of ISL spectrum and the grant of an amended authorization. 6. |
 | | PanAmSat’s license modification was the subject of a Petition to Deny, filed on August 26, 1999, by Pacific Century Group, Inc. Given our action herein, the Petition to Deny and related filings are dismissed as moot. |
