| AT&T | AT&T supports the Relocation Payment Clearinghouse's request to wind down and cease operations. AT&T argues that the RPC has completed its required functions, all reimbursement claims have been reviewed and invoiced, and the single remaining pending appeal (Anuvu claim) can be resolved through a Verizon-Anuvu settlement without delaying the wind-down process.

| CTIA | CTIA supports establishing final deadlines and processing benchmarks for the C-Band Relocation Payment Clearinghouse to bring finality and transparency to the RPC program. Specifically, CTIA urges: (1) a February 5, 2024 deadline for reimbursement claims incurred through December 31, 2023, and a July 1, 2024 deadline for remaining expenses; (2) RPC claims processing requirements (existing claims by December 31, 2023, new claims within 90 days of submission, with 30-day information request and response windows); (3) an August 2024 final billing deadline; and (4) a December 31, 2024 RPC wind-down deadline. CTIA also seeks FCC clarification on the reimbursability of recurring charges incurred years after transition completion. [source] | 2023-12-05 |
| Intelsat | Intelsat supports establishing a final deadline for reimbursement claims, conditional on the FCC adopting a methodology allowing FSS operators to submit and obtain reimbursement for foreseeable, contractually-obligated but not-yet-incurred transition expenses (particularly TT&C site fees through 2030). Intelsat also proposes process improvements to the RPC's efficiency, including limiting decisional memos to once per claim category and using sampling methodology for low-value claims under $5,000, to enable the RPC to wind down before June 2025.

| SES | SES generally supports the RPC's proposed final claims submission deadlines but requests that the FCC require the RPC to process existing claims within 90 days of the effective date and within 90 days for subsequently submitted claims. SES also requests a limited exception to final claims deadlines for claims that cannot be timely submitted due to procedural triggers within the RPC's control, with submission allowed until 90 days before RPC suspension. Additionally, SES proposes a 30-day threshold for when RPC actions must occur to qualify a claim for this exception. [source] | 2023-11-09 |
| SpaceX | SpaceX supports the SES-Intelsat merger and proposes that the FCC establish modernized, efficient sharing rules for the 4.0-4.2 GHz upper C-band that would allow multiple next-generation satellite operators (including SpaceX) to share the band alongside the merged entity, rather than maintaining exclusive or near-exclusive control by SES-Intelsat. SpaceX argues that new satellite technology enables better coordination and that flexible sharing would benefit consumers, competition, and 6G development. SpaceX also proposes licensing the 3.98-4.0 GHz guard band for mobile-satellite service. [source] | 2025-01-31 |
| Verizon | Verizon supports prompt FCC approval of the Relocation Payment Clearinghouse (RPC) request to wind down and cease operations by June 30, 2025. Verizon has agreed to guarantee payment to Anuvu up to $960,694.35 if Anuvu's appeal on a denied relocation claim is successful, and will collect pro-rata amounts from other overlay licensees to facilitate timely closure of the C-band relocation reimbursement program.
