                Re:      File No. 0055-EX-RR-2016 (Call Sign WH2XCD)

       Dear Dr. Nweke:

             Consistent with our existing nationwide authorization, Google Inc. intends to
       expand [REDACTED] testing from a [REDACTED] radius to a [REDACTED] around
       [REDACTED].

               Google requests confidential treatment of the material underlined in this letter for
       the length of the proposed experiment and thereafter in order to protect its evolving
       business and technology strategies. The information Google seeks to keep confidential
       includes information regarding proprietary wireless applications, and therefore
       represents a trade secret as recognized by the Commission. [REDACTED] is the subject
       of fierce competition from multiple third parties, and the release of the information
       provided by Google would provide valuable insight into Google’s technology innovations
       and potential business plans and strategies. In particular, the [REDACTED]. Moreover,
       Google has limited the number of people involved in the tests/experiments, and required
       all third parties involved in the testing process to execute robust nondisclosure
       agreements. Consistent with 47 C.F.R. § 0.459(d)(l), Google requests notification if
       release of confidential information is requested pursuant to the Freedom of Information
       Act or otherwise.

              Please do not hesitate to reach to me with any questions regarding this renewal
       application.

                                                               Sincerely yours,


                                                               Aparna Sridhar
                                                               Counsel
                                                               Google Inc.
