1. In this Order, we adopt a Consent Decree terminating an
inquiry into whether OnSat Network Communications, Inc.
(``OnSat'') apparently violated Section 301 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),1 by operating three earth

which is incorporated by reference in and attached to this Order,
will terminate our inquiry.

institute a compliance program and will make a $14,000 voluntary
contribution to the United States Treasury.

substantial or material questions of fact exist as to whether
OnSat possesses the basic qualifications, including those related
to character, to hold or obtain any FCC license or authorization.
5. We believe that the public interest will be served by
adopting the Consent Decree and terminating our inquiry.
