Dear Ms. Dortch:

On February 4, 2019, the undersigned, outside counsel to WorldVu Satellites Limited
(“OneWeb”) and Mariah Shuman, Head of Regulatory Affairs, Americas for OneWeb, met with
Jose Albuquerque, Karl Kensinger, Kerry Murray, Paul Blais, Stephen Duall (via telephone), and
Clay DeCell (via telephone) of the Satellite Division of the Commission’s International Bureau.

We presented a general update on the upcoming launch of OneWeb’s first batch of satellites and
detailed the continuing deployment of OneWeb’s business operations both in the United States
and around the globe. OneWeb reiterated its fundamental commitment to the mission it has been
pursuing from inception: to bridge the digital divide and bring the benefits of broadband internet
access to new markets around the world.

We also urged the Commission to promptly grant OneWeb’s pending applications to: (i) license
gateway earth station facilities in the United States; (ii) modify its grant of U.S. market access in
the Ku- and Ka-bands; and (iii) amend its petition for U.S. market access for a non-
geostationary, fixed-satellite system in the V-band. 1

OneWeb otherwise reiterated its positions of record in these proceedings. Please do not hesitate
to contact the undersigned with any questions.
