       WITHDRAWAL OF OPPOSITION OF IRIDIUM CONSTELLATION LLC

       On June 17, 2014, ORBCOMM License Corp. (“ORBCOMM”) requested a 24-month

experimental license (the “Application”) that sought to use four contiguous 2.5 MHz blocks of

L-band spectrum, including a block at 1617.5-1620 MHz (“Block 4”).1 On June 24, 2014,

Iridium Constellation LLC (“Iridium”) submitted an Opposition to the Application because

ORBCOMM’s proposed use of Block 4 would violate the current Big LEO MSS band plan.2 On

June 25, 2014, ORBCOMM amended its application to remove its request to utilize Block 4.

       The amended Application resolves Iridium’s concern. Therefore, Iridium hereby

withdraws its Opposition to the ORBCOMM Application.


                                                 Respectfully submitted,
