FCC Form 703 Application for Transfer of Control DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION Through this and related transfer of control applications,1 Harris CapRock Communications, Inc. and Maritime Communication Services, Inc. (“FCC Licensee Companies”), seek Commission consent for the proposed transfer of control of earth station, land mobile and microwave, and experimental licensees from their common parent company, Harris Corporation, to SpeedCast Americas, Inc.
