Re:        Oral Ex Parte Notice
           Kepler Communications Petition for Declaratory Ruling
           IBFS File No. SAT-PDR-20161115-00114

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        On November 29th, 2018, Nickolas Spina of Kepler Communications Inc. (“Kepler”) held a
teleconference with representatives of the International Bureau to discuss the above captioned non-
geostationary satellite orbit (“NGSO”) fixed-satellite service (“FSS”) system in Ku-band. Present on the call
on behalf of the International Bureau were Stephen Duall, Cindy Spiers and Kerry Murray.

        During the call, Kepler discussed its efforts in fulfilling the bond requirement as laid out in its
market access grant.1 Specifically, Kepler informed the FCC that experienced brokers that have brokered
bonds in the past were expressing their difficulty in finding a surety underwriter for Kepler.

         Kepler noted that it expects to have a better understanding of its options from the brokers during
the first week of December 2018, and will inform the International Bureau should securing the surety
continue to be a concern.

Pursuant to Section 1.1206(b)(2) of the FCC’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(2), this ex parte notification is
being filed electronically for inclusion in the public record of the above-referenced proceeding.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Sincerely,

/S/ Nickolas G. Spina

Nick G. Spina | Director, Launch & Regulatory Affairs
