Re:    SES Americom, Inc., 17/24 GHz Broadcast-Satellite Service
       File No. SAT-LOA-20080910-00173 (Call Sign S2763)

Dear Ms. Dortch:

SES Americom, Inc. (doing business as “SES”), by its attorneys, hereby responds to the
Commission’s September 22, 2011 letter regarding the above-referenced application.1 The
FCC Letter requested additional technical information regarding the pending SES application for
AMC-22, a 17/24 GHz Broadcast-Satellite Service (“BSS”) spacecraft to be located at
67.5° W.L. (the “AMC-22 Application”).

Following receipt of the FCC Letter, SES has reviewed its business plan with respect to
17/24 GHz BSS operations at this orbital location. Based on this review, SES has decided to
withdraw the AMC-22 Application. As a result, SES will not be amending the AMC-22
Application as requested in the FCC Letter.
