ALSAT definition
ALSAT means “all U.S.-licensed space stations.” It permits an earth station operator providing FSS in the Ku- band to access any U.S. satellite, and any foreign satellite on the Permitted Space Station List, without additional Commission action, provided that those communications are in accordance with the same technical parameters and conditions established in the earth stations’ licenses. See Amendment of the Commission’s Regulatory Policies to Allow Non-U.S. Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, Report and Order, IB Docket No. 96-111, FCC 99-325, 15 FCC Rcd 7207, 7210-11, ¶ 6, 7215-16, ¶ 19
ALSAT means "all U.S.-licensed space stations." Originally, under an ALSAT earth station license, an earth station operator providing fixed-satellite service in the conventional C- and Ku-bands could access any U.S. satellite without additional Commission action, provided that those communications are in accordance with the same technical parameters and conditions established in the earth stations' licenses. See Amendment of the Commission's Regulatory Policies to Allow Non-U.S. Licensed Space Stations to Provide Domestic and International Satellite Service in the United States, Report and Order, IB Docket No. 96-111, 15 FCC Rcd 7207, 7210-11, at para. 6 (1999) (DISCO II First Reconsideration Order). The DISCO II First Reconsideration Order expanded ALSAT earth station licenses to allow access to any satellite on the Permitted List.
