Dear Ms. Dortch:

       EchoStar Broadcasting Corporation and SES Americom, Inc. take this opportunity to
update the information provided to the Commission in the above-referenced files. Specifically,
based on the latest information received from the UK Space Agency:

        •          The United Kingdom will register QuetzSat-1 as a UK space object on the space
                   object registries of the United Nations and the United Kingdom.

        •          The United Kingdom will remain the State of registry of the QuetzSat-1
                   spacecraft for purposes of the UN Convention on the Registration of Objects
                   Launched into Outer Space even after the present U.K. space activity license for
                   QuetzSat-1 expires.

        Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this submission.


                       Respectfully submitted,


                              /s/
