                                                     File No. SES-LIC-20130528-00455

Dear Ms. Dortch:

This filing supplements the response that O3b Limited (“O3b”) provided on October 25, 2013, to
questions from the International Bureau concerning O3b’s application for authority to operate
earth stations on maritime vessels. 1 On November 8, 2013, the International Bureau posed this
follow-up question concerning O3b’s response to Question 12:

        “In O3b's response to Question 12 contained in our letter of September 25, 2013,
        O3b limited its explanation to overlap from a single satellite in its system. While that
        information is useful, we are interested in the potential for O3b space-to-Earth co-
        frequency beam overlap at any single location within the United States from the O3b
        constellation as a whole and not a single satellite. Please describe the scenarios in
        which such beam overlap could occur, and please state the time duration of and time
        interval between such beam overlap events. If these parameters vary depending on
        geographic location, please state the longest beam overlap duration and the
        minimum interval between beam overlap events. If these parameters will change
        depending on the number of satellites in the O3b constellation, please describe how
        adding more satellites to the system will change the analysis.”
