Globalstar again said Iridium presents no justification for revisiting the FCC 2007 decision allocating the lower big low earth orbit (LEO) band between Iridium and Globalstar. Iridium seeks the very frequencies that Globalstar’s customers rely on every day to request life-saving rescues around the world, Globalstar said in an ex parte filing posted Friday in docket 13-213 (http://bit.ly/1rnyQ5B). The FCC should reject Iridium’s petition, it said. It referred to Iridium’s latest filing that urged the commission to adopt its petition in light of Globalstar’s proposed terrestrial low-power broadband service, which would “eliminate nearly any obligation for Globalstar to provide Big LEO satellite services and would seem to contemplate nationwide exclusion zones for Globalstar’s two-way satellite services,” (http://bit.ly/1tfbbSO). Globalstar’s filing pertained to a meeting with staff from the offices of FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, and Commissioners Ajit Pai and Mike O'Rielly.
