Intelsat, Intel Push Pai for C-Band Clearing NPRM on 5G

Intelsat and Intel are pushing their joint plan for clearing some C-band for 5G with Chairman Ajit Pai's staff. The two in a docket 17-183 ex parte filing posted Monday recapped a meeting with a Pai aide in which the companies asked the agency to act on an NPRM suggesting the Intelsat/Intel sharing framework the two put forth in October (see 1710020047). They "stand ready" to work on hammering out implementation details.
