Background In the Ka-band Service Rules Order, the Commission adopted an anti-trafficking rule prohibiting Ka-band licensees from selling a bare license for profit. The Commission explained that the anti-trafficking rule is intended to discourage speculators and prevent unjust enrichment of those who do not implement their proposed systems. The anti-trafficking rule appears as Section 25.145(d). Section 25.145(d) states that the Commission may require parties seeking authority to transfer a license to submit an affirmative, factual demonstration that no trafficking has occurred, including (i) complete details as to the sale of facilities or merger of interests, (ii) an itemized accounting of the consideration involved in the sale or merger, and (iii) a demonstration that the amounts

In addition, we note that no concerns were raised in this proceeding as to issues of national security, law enforcement, foreign policy and trade policy. Thus, based on the record before us, we find that the proposed transfer poses no national security, law enforcement, foreign policy or trade concerns. E. Trafficking Section 25.145(d) of the Commission's rules prohibits Ka-band satellite licensees from selling "a bare license for profit." In adopting this rule, the Commission explained that it is intended to discourage speculators and to prevent unjust enrichment of those who do not implement their proposed systems. This provision was not intended to prevent the infusion of capital by either debt or equity financing.

Pegasus, an applicant in the second Ka-band processing round, asserts that the applications do not provide sufficient information to determine compliance with Section 25.145(d) of the Commission's rules, which prohibits trafficking of bare licenses. Specifically, Pegasus states that while KaSTAR acknowledges that equity interests have changed since it was awarded its license, it does not adequately explain these changes. Pegasus also states that the applications fail to indicate the consideration to be paid to KaSTAR or Televerde. Pegasus is concerned that the original shareholders
