Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are in receipt of the Staff’s letter dated May 9, 2022 with respect to the above-referenced Amendment No. 2 to the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”). We are responding to the Staff’s comments on behalf of Viasat, Inc. (“Viasat” or the “Company”) as set forth below. Simultaneously with the submission of this letter, the Company is publicly filing via EDGAR an Amendment No. 3 to the Preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Amended Preliminary Proxy Statement”) responding to the Staff’s comments and updating the Preliminary Proxy Statement.

The Company’s responses set forth in this letter are numbered to correspond to the numbered comments in the Staff’s letter. All terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Preliminary Proxy Statement. For ease of reference, we have set forth the Staff’s comments and the Company’s response for each item below.
