TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-145251) (as amended the “Registration Statement”) filed by Hughes Communications, Inc (“Hughes”), Hughes Network Systems, LLC, HNS Finance Corp. and the subsidiary guarantors listed in Schedule A (together, the “Registrants”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2007 and expired on November 19, 2010.

On February 13, 2011, Hughes entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with EchoStar Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“EchoStar”), EchoStar Satellite Services L.L.C., a Colorado limited liability company, and Broadband Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub merged with and into Hughes (the “Merger”), with Hughes continuing as the surviving entity, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar. The closing for the Merger has occurred, and the Merger became effective on June 8, 2011 pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed on the same date with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As a result, the Registrants have terminated all offerings of their securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrants in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrants hereby remove from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statement but not sold under the Registration Statement as of the filing date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
