              Dear Chairman Genachowski:

              I write today with great urgency asit relates to the FCC license application of "China Mobile." I
              know this is an issue your staff is now considering. I respectfully urge your agency to deny China
              Mobile‘s FCC application seeking to provide service between China and the United States, as
              well as to build facilities on American soil.

              With an FCC license in—hand, I am concemed that ‘China Mobile‘ would command
              unprecedented access to both tangible and intangible U.S. infrastructure, particularly as it relates
              to national security points of interest like Rome Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in Rome,
              NY. The AFRL Information Directorate is focused on research and advanced developmentin the
              cyber domain. I fear facilities like this would bzcome even easier targets for hackers looking to
              spy on our country or steal our nation‘s intellectual assets and information.

              Just recently, with the hacking of U.S. newspapers and other corporations by the Chinese,
              cybersecurity has once again been brought to the forefront of the national security debate.
              Fortunately, the area I represent here in Upstate, New York is home to a firewall of cybersecurity
              experts, both private and public, Our local colleges are helping create the nation‘s first cyber
              army and installations like Rome AFRL are employing them to keep our nation safe and secure
              from cyber invaders, like the Chinese.

              Again, 1 respectfully urge your agency to keep.me abreast on the FCC license application of
              ©China Mobile‘ and hope your team will either work to deny their application or help reassure
              relevant facilities across the U.S. that they are seeking unprecedented U.S. access for monitored
              and agreed upon good.

              Moreover, should you or your staff ever wish to see the cybersecurity firewall I mentioned above,
              happening right here in the Utica—Rome area, I invite you to call upon me. Please feel free to
              contact me should you have any questions as it relates to my inquiry and opinion of China
              Mobile‘s FCC application.
