Federal Communications Commission FCC 15-164 STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI, APPROVING IN PART AND CONCURRING IN PART Re: Applications of LightSquared Subsidiary LLC, Debtor-in-Possession, and LightSquared Subsidiary LLC For Consent to Assign and Transfer Licenses and Other Authorizations and Request for Declaratory Ruling on Foreign Ownership, IB Docket No. 15-126. With this transaction, the LightSquared entities are on a path out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and today’s decision will help move that process forward. With respect to one applicant, however, the Commission is using a proxy agreement and deferring consideration of its character qualifications until the agency receives additional information. In my view, we should be deciding in this Order whether every applicant has the requisite qualifications to hold an FCC license. As a result, I am voting to concur in this part of the decision.
