Ligado Asking for Delayed Reply Deadline in LTE PN

Ligado is seeking a three-week extension on the deadline for reply comments in the public notice issued April 22 on its terrestrial LTE plans (see 1604250019). Dozens of initial comments were in FCC RM-11681 June 21, and many of them hadn't filed before, Ligado said in a motion posted there Thursday. More time would aid in rulemaking and in exploring alternative means for delivering National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration data, the company said. It said a delay from July 21 to Aug. 11 also would help because the American Meteorological Society has a meeting scheduled the week of July 17.
