TrustComm, Inc. FCC Form 312 Question 43, A21 May 31, 2012 Page 1 of 4 Exhibit F-Public Interest Statement/Alien Beneficial Ownership Disclosure On May 14, 2012, Global Secure Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GSN"), and TrustComm, Inc. ("TrustComm" or "the Licensee"), a Texas corporation, and Bankton Financial Corporation LLC (“Bankton”), a Texas limited liability company, and TII Holdings, Inc. (“TII” together with Bankton, the “TrustComm Stockholders”), a Delaware corporation, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, GSN will purchase from the TrustComm Stockholders all of TrustComm's remaining stock, resulting in TrustComm becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of GSN. FCC consent is requested for this transfer of control of TrustComm from the TrustComm Stockholders to GSN. TrustComm, headquartered and operating a teleport in Houston, Texas, is a satellite communications company, bandwidth reseller and services provider supplying broadband satellite communications to domestic and international users. Its services include, among other things, provision of mission critical communications for first responders to weather-related and other public safety emergencies. TrustComm holds a VSAT earth station license (Call Sign E050044) and two fixed earth station licenses (Call Signs E010295, E000361), along with an International 214 authorization. GSN, the Transferee, is a Delaware corporation. It is owned by the Nox Trust, an irrevocable Delaware trust (the" Trust"). The grantor of the Nox Trust is Reiner Mario Lemme, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Trust has been created for the benefit of Mr. Lemme and his children and more remote descendants. Mr. Lemme has substantial experience in the satellite industry. He acted as a consultant to Lockheed Martin on their business activities in Russia, including the creation and management

TrustComm, Inc. FCC Form 312 Question 43, A21 May 31, 2012 Page 2 of 4 of the International Launch Services joint venture (“ILS”) between Lockheed Martin and Khrunichev (an affiliate of the Russian Space Agency) in the mid 1990s. In 2006, he acquired a controlling interest in ILS and later sold the business in 2008, at which time it had successfully built a backlog of approximately $2 billion USD of launch contracts. The 2006 acquisition of ILS was reviewed and approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"). Subsequently, Mr. Lemme has been involved in several successful business ventures. The Commonwealth Trust Company, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware is the corporate trustee of the Trust. Peter J. Slater, a U.S. citizen who resides in Scarsdale, New York, is the non-corporate trustee of the Trust. As corporate trustee, the Commonwealth Trust Company is responsible for administrative matters, such as corporate and tax filings. Mr. Slater, in his capacity as the non-corporate trustee of the Trust, has the authority to control investment and distribution decisions with respect to the Trust. The non-corporate trustee can only be removed for cause, but only by the protector of the Trust. The protector, Ivan A. Sacks, who is and under the Trust must be a U.S. citizen, acts as an irrevocable proxy for the beneficiaries of the Trust. As the initial protector, Mr. Sacks was appointed by the grantor; however, the protector has the power to appoint his own successor. Mr. Robert Roe, a U.S. citizen, serves as the President of GSN. Mr. Roe controls the day-to-day operations of GSN, including its investment decisions. GSN has a professional board of directors that oversees the management of GSN. TrustComm itself will also be similarly professionally managed. Neither the grantor nor any beneficiary of the Trust will be a member of the board or of management of either GSN or TrustComm

TrustComm, Inc. FCC Form 312 Question 43, A21 May 31, 2012 Page 3 of 4 The proposed transaction will serve the public interest because the Trust will bring additional resources to the operation and management of TrustComm and to meeting the demands of TrustComm’s customers for reliable, secure and technologically advanced communications services. As the FCC is aware, TrustComm, formerly known as Skyport Global Communications, Inc., had been involved in bankruptcy proceedings in United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in 2008, See Case No. 08-36737 (USBC- SD-Texas) (Chapter 11) and FCC File Nos SES-ASG-INTR2009-03916 and SES-ASG- INTR2009-03914. The proposed transaction will be transparent and beneficial to TrustComm's customers. There will be no impact on day-to-day operations. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, all existing customer requirements, commitments and service obligations will continue to be met utilizing facilities, services and support. The parties to the application anticipate that the proposed transaction will result in a company able to deliver more sophisticated solutions while maintaining high levels of service availability and reliability. Based on the foregoing, the proposed transfer of control will serve the public interest. No waivers of the FCC's Rules are necessary or requested. Accordingly, the Applicants request that this application and the related applications be expeditiously granted. Applicants further request that grants of these applications for transfer of control include authority for GSN to acquire control of any authorizations, construction permits, or applications
