Bloosurf has entered into an agreement with the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore, Salisbury University and Wor-Wic Community College, to lease a portion of three common carrier Educational Broadband Service channels (call signs WCN 437, 436 and 463). Bloosurf intends to provide mobile 4G broadband service to students, faculty and staff of the lessors and to businesses and residents of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties in Maryland. Petitioner's request is made in connection with an application for approval of its spectrum leasing arrangement. According to Petitioner, Bloosurf is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware and is 5% owned by Naimat Mughal, a U.S. citizen, and 95% owned by Pocomoke Holdings, LLC (Pocomoke), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware. Pocomoke has four shareholders: (1) Paul Carliner 2009 Irrevocable Trust (25.5% equity and voting interests), an entity organized under the laws of Nevada and 100% owned by Paul Carliner, a U.S. citizen; (2) Vincent Sabathier (12.75% equity and voting interests), a U.S. citizen; (3) Robbie Sabathier (12.75% equity and voting interests), a U.S. citizen; and, (4) Alsatis SAS (Alsatis) (49% equity and voting interests), a corporation organized under the laws of France, a World Trade Organization member. Alsatis is owned by Vincent Sabathier (50.58% equity and voting interests), and seven French citizens: Xavier Prisker (16.44% equity and voting interests); Thibout Girard (8.75% equity and voting interests); Philippe Girard (8.43% equity and voting interests); Romain Bucelle (6.85% equity and voting interests); Estelle Prisker (4.21% equity and voting interests); Raymonde Sabathier (4.21% equity and voting interests) and Thomas Mignien (0.53% equity and voting interests). Petitioners assert that, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the public interest would be served by permitting the indirect foreign ownership of Bloosurf in excess of the 25 percent benchmark in section 310(b)(4) of the Act.
