Washington, DC 20554 Re: KVH Industries, Inc. Request for a Further Special Temporary Authority To Operate ESV Network Call Sign 070085 Pending Action on Amended ESV Application Dear Ms Medley: KVH Industries, Inc. ("KVH"), pursuant to Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commission‘s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b)(3), hereby requests a new Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate a network of up to 300 earth stations onboard vessels ("ESVs") via the AMC—15 satellite at 105° W.L. and a gateway earth station in Carlsbad, CA (Call Sign EO30131), licensed to ViaSat, Inc. A further STA is sought for a period of 60 days, commencing July 27, 2009, pending action on the previously filed amendment in license application proceeding File Nos. SES—LIC—20070504—00563 and SES—AMD—20090515—00596 to substitute KVH as the applicant, add the AMC—15 satellite as a point of communication, and make other minor adjustments to the ESV application.‘ The Commission has already granted a number of STAs to SES Americom, Inc. ("SES America") to operate this particular ESV network (Call Sign 070085) communicating with the AMC—6 satellite at 72° W.L. and the AMC—15 satellite, pending grant of an underlying application for a regular 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, and SES—STA— 20090219—00196. Most recently, the Commission granted two STAs to KVH to operate the ESV network via the AMC—6 and AMC—15 satellites pending grant of the pending underlying license application. These STAs, SES—STA—20090515—00593 (AMC—6) and SES—STA—20090515—00595 (AMC—15), expire on ‘ The information in the underlying ESV application proceeding is hereby incorporated by reference.

July 22, 2009 SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY L.L.P. Page 2 July 27, 2009. Because KVH has already transitioned to the AMC—15 satellite and no longer is operating the network via the AMC—6 satellite, a further STA is sought only for the AMC—15 satellite." KVH‘s operation of the ESV network under the requested STA will be consistent with the technical parameters in the underlying ESV application, as amended. In addition, all operations will be on the same terms and conditions as previous STAs granted to SES Americom and KVH to operate the network. Specifically, operations will be on an unprotected, non—harmful interference basis, and will be without prejudice to the Commission‘s consideration of the underlying ESV application, as amended. Grant of the requested STA will serve the public interest by ensuring continuity of service to existing ESV customers on the E070085 network, including U.S. government users, which have already been transitioned from the AMC—6 satellite to the AMC—15 satellite. It will also ensure that affordable and reliable broadband communications will continue to be made available to a wide range of maritime customers, including federal, state and local government agencies, businesses and individuals. The Commission has previously found that grant of STAs to provide such services to be in the public interest, and it should reach the same conclusion with respect to KVH‘s instant request for an STA to provide the same services using the same network. KVH is fully qualified to hold an STA to operate this ESV network, as evidenced by the Commission‘s previous grant of the existing STAs under Call Sign E070085 and similar grants. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or if KVH can provide any additional information to facilitate action on its instant STA request. Respectfully submitted, SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY L.L.P. /s/ Carlos M. Nalda Carlos M. Nalda Counsel to KVH Industries, Inc. > KVH will update the record of the underlying application proceeding to reflect that it no longer seeks to communicate with the AMC—6 satellite.
