Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 9, 2006, we filed a request with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to extend for a short period the remaining four milestone dates outlined in our authorization for the construction and launch of our satellite. The brief extension is needed to accommodate manufacture and delivery issues encountered by subcontractors for our satellite manufacturer, Space Systems/Loral, Inc. We requested that the launch of our satellite be extended until November 30, 2007 (rather than the current milestone date of July 1, 2007) and that certification that the mobile satellite services system is in operation be extended until December 31, 2007 (rather than July 17, 2007). We also asked that the two remaining intermediate milestone dates be extended as follows: complete reference performance test (April 30, 2007, instead of January 1, 2007), and complete thermal vacuum test (June 15, 2007, instead of March 1, 2007).
