    Dear Ms. Dortch:

            MV S Fed, LLC ("MVS Fed"), by its attorneys, hereby provides clarifying information
    regarding information set forth in the above—referenced applications. Attachment 3, page 4, §
    IIILD of the amended version of the above—referenced application discusses issues concerning
    national security, law enforcement and public safety concerns. This part of the application
    simply restated information that was provided in the original November, 2005 application
    submitted by affiliate and predecessor applicant, MVS USA, Inc. ("MVS USA" — SES—LFS—
    20051123—01634). (MVS Fed and MVS USA are commonly controlled by Debcom, Inc., and
    the amended application reflects a pro forma reorganization of their respective operations.) The
    information in MVS USA‘s application was proffered pursuant to its understanding at the time
    that then—existing arrangements between U.S. government agencies and underlying network
    providers for BGAN service were sufficient to cover MVS USA‘s operations for such purposes.
    This letter is intended to clarify and reaffirm the current understanding of MVS USA, MVS Fed
    and their common owner, Debcom, Inc. that a separate NSA and IP will be entered into for the
    applicant, which is now MV S Fed.

            Subsequent to the filing ofits original application, MVS USA entered into discussions
    with relevant U.S. government personnel regarding a network security agreement ("NSA") and
    accompanying implementation plan ("IP") specific to MVS USA. MVS Fed, as the successor
    applicant to MVS USA, remains in discussions with U.S. government personnel to enter into an

    NSA and IP specific to MVS Fed. MVS Fed will notify the Commission once such
    arrangements have been finalized and executed.

              Please contact the undersigned at (202) 383—3393 if there are questions concerning this
    filing.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,
