                                                          File No. SES-LIC-20071221-01752

Dear Ms. Hutchings Malloy:

On September 19, 2007, New ICO Satellite Services G.P. (ICO) filed the above-captioned
application to modify its spectrum reservation of the ICO-G1 satellite at 92.85o W.L. On
December 21, 2007, ICO filed the above-captioned application seeking a license for a Ka-band1
fixed earth station that will communicate with the ICO-G1 satellite. We request that ICO respond
to the following so that we may continue to process the applications.

In response to items E43, E44, and E47 of Schedule B in the earth station application, ICO lists a
100KG7D emission for the 20195-20200 MHz band and an 860KF9D emission for the 29995-
30000 MHz band. However, in items S9, S10, S12, and S13 of the Schedule S in the space
station filing, ICO lists the T&C emissions as 1M00F2D for the 29995.5 and 29999.5 MHz center
frequencies and 300KG2D for the 20196.5 and 20198.5 MHz center frequencies. Given these
differences, we are unable to determine the proposed emissions and frequencies for ICO’s TT&C
operations.

Further, in response to items E43, E44, and E47 of Schedule B in the earth station application,
ICO lists a 10M0G7W and a 5M00G7W emission for the 29.25-30.0 GHz band and a 10M0G7W
emission for the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 18.55-18.8 GHz bands. However, in items S9, S10, S11, and
S13 of Schedule S in the space station filing, ICO lists the feeder link emissions as 8K00G7W,
1M25G7W, and 156KG7W for the 29.25-30.0 GHz band and 200KG7W, 1M25G7W,
8K00G7W, 156KG7W and 5M00G7W for the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 18.55-18.8 GHz bands. Given
these differences, we are unable to determine the proposed emissions for ICO’s feeder link
operations.




1
     The earth station is to operate in the 18.55-18.8, 19.7-20.2, and 29.25-30 GHz bands.


                                 Federal Communications Commission




Please explain these differences, by letter, by April 1, 2008. If ICO seeks to change any of the
proposed operating parameters in either application, it should file an amendment to that
application. Failure to submit a letter and/or amendment by the required date will result in
dismissal of one or both applications pursuant to Section 25.112(c) of the Commission‘s rules, 47
CFR. § 25.112(c).


                                             Sincerely,



                                             ArmwA KetGe
                                              Scott A. Kotler
