Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Ex Parte Letter IBFS File No. SAT-LOA-20151123-00078 Dear Ms. Dortch: On August 24, 2016, representatives of Spire Global, Inc. (“Spire”) spoke with representatives of the FCC’s International Bureau (“Bureau”) regarding the above-referenced proceeding. The following individuals participated in the conference call on behalf of Spire: Jonathan Rosenblatt, General Counsel; Jenny Barna, Launch Manager; and Tony Lin, outside counsel for Spire. The following people participated in the call on behalf of the Bureau: Jose Albuquerque, Satellite Division Chief; Karl Kensinger, Deputy Division Chief; Stephen Duall, Policy Branch Chief; and Cindy Spiers, Policy Branch Attorney Advisor. Spire discussed the current status of the negotiations with ORBCOMM License Corp. (“ORBCOMM”). With the payload integration deadline fast approaching, Spire asked the FCC to take action immediately and not require the parties to finalize an agreement as a prerequisite to the grant of the Spire application. Spire also discussed its position that the Bureau should dismiss ORBCOMM’s Petition1 and not allow it to stand in the way of Spire’s application, imposing such licensing conditions as are necessary to protect the public interest. Pursuant to Section 1.1206(b) of the Commission’s rules, this letter is being filed electronically in the above-referenced proceeding. Please direct any questions regarding this letter to the undersigned. 1 ORBCOMM License Corp. Petition to Dismiss, Deny or Hold in Abeyance, File No. SAT-LOA- 20151123-00078 (filed Feb. 22, 2016).

Respectfully submitted, /s/ Tony Lin Tony Lin Counsel tony.lin@hoganlovells.com D 1+ 202 637 5795 cc: (via email) Jose Albuquerque Karl Kensinger Stephen Duall Cindy Spiers
