Iridium Seeking Confidential Treatment of Confidentiality Request

Iridium is asking the FCC not to make public confidential information contained in a confidentiality request the company previously submitted. In a letter posted Friday in docket 11-109, Iridium said the letter it submitted with its technical analysis of how Ligado's proposed LTE service might cause interference to the satellite company's receivers (see 1609020029), asking for confidential treatment of sensitive information in that analysis, also contains information the "disclosure of which would result in substantial competitive harm." Thus the redacted language in that confidentiality request also should be withheld from public disclosure, it said. Ligado has been pushing for Iridium to make public redacted portions of that technical analysis (see 1609270024).
