Re: Ex Parte Notice: Terrestrial Use of the 2473-2495 MHz Band for Low-Power Mobile Broadband Networks – IB Docket No. 13-213

Dear Ms. Dortch:

On November 2, 2016, L. Barbee Ponder IV, General Counsel & Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, for Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar”), Tim Taylor, Vice President of Finance, Business Operations & Strategy, for Globalstar, and I met with Edward “Smitty” Smith, Legal Advisor to Chairman Tom Wheeler, regarding the Commission’s proposed rules in the above- captioned proceeding.1

On November 3, 2016, I spoke by telephone separately with Mr. Smith and Julius Knapp, Chief Engineer of the Office of Engineering and Technology, regarding this proceeding.

On November 4, 2016, Mr. Ponder, Mr. Taylor, Steve Berman of Lawler, Metzger, Keeney & Logan, LLC, and I spoke by telephone with Mr. Knapp regarding this rulemaking. During this meeting and these calls, Globalstar’s representatives discussed ways to reach an expeditious outcome in this rulemaking.

If the Commission promptly adopts appropriate rules in this proceeding, such action will serve the public interest by enabling an innovative new broadband service at 2.4 GHz and adding significantly to the nation’s broadband spectrum inventory.
