rently being launched. Comsat states that, in December Before the 1989, the INTELSAT Board of Governors authorized a Federal Communications Commission ninth antenna with a completion date the same as the Washington, D.C. 20554 original eight antennas. Comsat further states that the tenth antenna anticipates INTELSAT network needs in the near future, and that all antennas are expected to be In the Matter of the Applications of operational by the first week of September 1990. 3. Upon review of the applications, we find Comsat's COMMUNICATIONS CSG-90-043-P/L plan to construct and operate two additional 9-meter C SATELLITE band satellite earth stations at its Clarksburg, Maryland CORPORATION site for providing TTC&M services for the operation of INTELSAT's TTC&M network is operationally sound.
