Globalstar Pushes TLPS With OET, O'Rielly

Globalstar is continuing lobbying the FCC for its terrestrial low-power service broadband proposal. In an ex parte filing posted Thursday in docket 13-213, the company recapped a meeting its executives, including General Counsel Barbee Ponder, had with agency officials including Office of Engineering and Technology Chief Engineer Julius Knapp, and a separate meeting with Commissioner Mike O'Rielly aide Erin McGrath. O'Rielly and Commissioner Mignon Clyburn hadn't decided on the Globalstar draft order that had seen "no" votes by Commissioners Ajit Pai and Jessica Rosenworcel (see 1607140049).
