Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Attention: Paul Blais, Chief, System Analysis Branch, International Bureau Re: Towerstream Corporation FSS Earth Station KA412 Modification Application (FRN: 0015467749) IBFS File Nos. SES-MOD-20130903-00774 (filed Oct. 23, 2013), SES-AMD- 20140502-00330 (filed May 2, 2014). Dear Secretary Dortch: Towerstream Corporation (“Towerstream”), by its attorneys, hereby submits this letter to address specific questions asked by Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) staff relating to Towerstream’s application for approval to modify Fixed Satellite Service (“FSS”) earth station, Call Sign KA412 (the “License”)(“Modification Application”),1 and the subsequently filed amendment to the modification application (“Amendment”).2 Towerstream filed the Amendment pursuant to FCC staff’s instructions to update the beamwidth information originally provided in the Modification Application’s technical coordination and statement exhibit. With respect to the amended Frequency Coordination and Interference Report (the “Report”) submitted as an attachment to the Amendment, FCC staff sought clarification as to whether Towerstream conducted another coordination to reflect the updated beamwidth information. Towerstream did not conduct another coordination to reflect the updated beamwidth because the change in the beamwidth was merely correcting a typographical error and the Amendment did not impact the original coordination filed in October 2013. Because the Report was updated at the request of FCC staff only to reflect the corrected 1 IBFS File No. SES-MOD-20130903-00774 (filed Oct. 23, 2013). 2 IBFS File No. SES-AMD-20140502-00330 (filed May 2, 2014).

Herman & Whiteaker, LLC Page 2 of 2 beamwidth, the Report was not re-certified by Gary K. Edwards to reflect the re-submission date of May 2, 2014. Additionally, Towerstream clarifies that the Modification Application seeks authority to operate the License on a non-common carrier basis, and that Towerstream is not currently operating the License as a common carrier. Please contact the undersigned should you have any further questions or concerns related to the Modification Application or Amendment. Respectfully submitted, Donald L. Herman, Jr. Susan C. Goldhar Ornstein Counsel for Towerstream Corp.
