October 23, 2014 Via Electronic Filing James Ball, Chief Policy Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: RigNet Satcom, Inc. ITC-214-19980914-00636 and ITC-214-19991220-00815 Surrender of Authorizations Dear Mr. Ball: RigNet Satcom, Inc., a/k/a RigNet, Inc., (“RigNet”), respectfully requests cancelation of the above-referenced International Section 214 authorizations, effective immediately, or as soon thereafter as possible. RigNet is a provider of specialized communications services, generally through the use of satellite facilities, to the oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico and to various, related on-shore locations, including customer premises in Louisiana and Texas. Recently, RigNet purchased telecommunications assets from Stratos Offshore Services Company ("Stratos"). 1 RigNet does not offer, and has no customers for, common carrier services, but provides a variety of services on a private carrier basis. RigNet has no customers for common carrier services; hence, no customer notice has been prepared or sent. RigNet plans to serve selected customers on this basis for the indefinite future. Therefore, RigNet has no need for, or planned use of, its international operating authorizations. Accordingly, RigNet requests these authorizations be canceled. 1 RigNet did not, however, acquire ownership of Stratos or any of its affiliates. Stratos provided common carrier communications services, as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier ("CLEC"), to the oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico and to various on-shore locations, including sites in Louisiana and Texas. Based on information received from Stratos, RigNet understands Stratos no longer offers those services and has no remaining customers for common carrier services. Stratos’ international Section 214 authorities were transferred to RigNet in ITC-ASG-20130815-00212 (rel. Feb. 19, 2014).
