In response to your specific questions, I no longer represent StarVox and have no knowledge regarding the Company other than what is publically available. According to my recollection, as refreshed by research online, I would conclude that StarVox is bankrupt and no longer operational. See, for example: https://www.crmz.com/Report/ReportPreview.aspx?BusinessId=3168 However, since I have no specific knowledge of StarVox’s current status, I cannot confirm with absolute certainty that the company is non-operational and extinct. But signs would seem to indicate this is the case. I hope I have been helpful. Do not hesitate to contact me should you require more. Regards, Jonathan Jonathan S.

From: Figueroa, Melissa (CTR) [mailto:Melissa.Figueroa@associates.hq.dhs.gov] Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 10:16 AM To: Jonathan Marashlian Cc: IP-FCC; FIRS-TT@usdoj.gov Subject: StarVox - USWI LOA Update Mr. Marashlian, According to our records, you were listed as counsel for StarVox Communications, Inc. (StarVox) for its 2007 applications for consent to transfer control of StarVox and its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Telecommunications, Inc., to U.S. Wireless Data, Inc. (USWI). In StarVox’s September 14, 2006 Letter of Assurance (LOA, attached here) with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (jointly, the USG Parties), and reconfirmed in USWI’s subsequent commitment letter dated July 25, 2007 (attached), StarVox designated Mr. Michael Sharman and Mr. Bryan Brooks as U.S. points of contact with the authority and responsibility for accepting and overseeing compliance with a wiretap order, pen/trap order, subpoena or other lawful demand by U.S. law enforcement authorities for the content of communications or U.S. Records. DHS would appreciate it if you could let us know if you are still counsel to StarVox, and, if so, if Mr. Sharman and Mr. Brooks remain the points of contact for such requests. If Mr. Sharman and Mr. Brooks are still the points of contact, please provide DHS with their updated contact information, or if there has been a change, please provide DHS with the new point of contact to include his or her contact information.

Additionally, DHS asks that StarVox and USWI confirm that there have been no unauthorized disclosures of, or access to, any U.S. Records and provide updates regarding any material changes to any of the facts as represented in the 2006 and 2007 LOAs. Finally, DHS requests an update on the current ownership structure of StarVox and USWI. Please provide the current owners with greater than 5% ownership interest, including the citizenship of each owner. DHS advises that the point of contact for all matters pertaining to the LOA for DHS is ip- fcc@hq.dhs.gov with a courtesy copy of all notices and correspondence to be forwarded to myself (Melissa.figueroa@associates.hq.dhs.gov). Please provide a response by December 8, 2015. Thank you for all of your assistance.
