Globalstar Still Sees Potential TLPS Compromise

Globalstar still hopes to reach a compromise that will bring FCC approval for its proposed terrestrial low-power service, CEO James Monroe said during the company's Q3 earnings call Thursday. The company didn't take questions on TLPS. In an ex parte filing posted Friday in docket 13-213, Globalstar also recapped a meeting involving Vice President-Finance, Business Operations and Strategy Tim Taylor, consultant and ex-Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth, and an aide to Commissioner Mike O'Rielly. At that meeting, Globalstar said it talked about allowing opportunistic access to Wi-Fi channel 14, where Globalstar hasn't deployed TLPS.
