"We are very pleased that the FCC is moving forward with Globalstar's requested rulemaking," said L. Barbee Ponder, Globalstar's General Counsel and Vice President Regulatory Affairs. "With hundreds of millions of Wi-Fi devices now being sold annually, only Globalstar's proposed Terrestrial Low Power Service (TLPS) can provide an immediate solution to help alleviate existing Wi-Fi congestion. We look forward to expeditious action and new Commission rules permitting Globalstar to offer truly innovative terrestrial mobile broadband services including TLPS over its licensed spectrum."
