Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 6, 2007, we filed a request with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) to extend for a short period the remaining two milestone dates outlined in our authorization for the construction, launch and operation of our ICO G1 satellite. The brief extension is needed to accommodate a six-week postponement by our launch provider, Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services (“LMCLS”). LMCLS’ subcontractor, United Launch Alliance, LLC, has revised its launch manifest because of delays caused by the recently reported minor launch anomaly investigation and attendant resolution, coupled with unforeseen spacecraft processing issues that caused delays to the Atlas launches earlier in 2007. We have requested from the FCC that the milestones for launch of our satellite be extended until January 15, 2008 (rather than the current milestone date of November 30, 2007), and that certification that the mobile satellite services system is in operation be extended until February 15, 2008 (rather than December 31, 2007).
