Washington, DC 20554 Re: KVH Industries, Inc.: Update of Satellite Points of Communication for Call Sign E070085, File Nos. SES-LIC-20070504-00563 and SES-AMD-20090515-00596 Dear Ms. Medley: KVH Industries, Inc. (“KVH”), pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.65, hereby updates the record of the above-referenced earth station onboard vessels (“ESVs”) license application for Call Sign E070085 to remove the AMC-6 satellite as a requested satellite point of communication. The ESV application initially requested authority to operate up to 300 ESVs via the AMC-6 satellite at 72° W.L. (File No. SES-LIC-20070504-00563) The application was subsequently amended in File No. SES-AMD-20090515-00596 to substitute KVH as the applicant, add the AMC-15 satellite at 105° W.L as a point of communication, and make other minor adjustments to the pending ESV application. 1 The Commission has granted a series of STAs to operate this ESV network via both AMC-6 satellite and the AMC-15 satellite, pending grant of an underlying application for an ESV license. See File Nos. SES- STA-20070329-00421, SES-STA-20070529-00728, SES-STA-20070720-00973, SES-STA-20080110- 00035, SES-STA-20080801-01010, SES-STA-20080916-01214, SES-STA-20090219-00196, SES-STA- 20090515-00593, SES-STA-20090515-00595 and, currently, SES-STA-20090722-0902. In its most recent STA request, KVH indicated that it had transitioned to the AMC-15 satellite and was no longer operating the network via the AMC-6 satellite. Accordingly, KVH did not seek further authority to communicate via the AMC-6 satellite, and the current STA provides authority only to communicate with the AMC-15 satellite. 1 The information in the underlying ESV application proceeding is hereby incorporated by reference.

August 31, 2009 SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY L.L.P. Page 2 The instant letter serves to update the record of the underlying ESV license application to reflect that KVH no longer seeks license authority to operate the network via the AMC-6 satellite. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or if KVH can provide any additional information regarding this letter or the underlying, amended license application. Respectfully submitted, SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY L.L.P. /s/ Carlos M. Nalda Carlos M. Nalda Counsel to KVH Industries, Inc.
