Dear Senator Graham:
Thank you for your letter urging that the Commission consider options that will allow
LightSquared to offer its planned wireless broadband service, including authorizing use of
alternative spectrum for this service. Your letter will be included in the record of the related
proceedings and considered as part of the Commission's review.
Commission staff has continued to meet with representatives of LightSquared, and is
working with them thwugh the complex issues of this proceeding. Cunently, no petition is
before the Commission regarding alternative spectrum for LightSquared. Should that change,
the Commission will coordinate with NT1A as necessary, and consider any proposals carefully.
I appreciate your interest in this matter. Please let me know if I can be of any further
assistance.
