NorthStar Seeks Temporary Authority for Expired Sub Cable License

With the submarine cable license for NorthStar License's Alaska-to-Oregon system seemingly expired, the company is asking the FCC for special temporary authority to continue operations pending the filing and processing of a renewal application. In its STA application last week, NorthStar said that while FCC records don't indicate the in-service date for the 25-year license, that date was likely Oct. 1, 1999. NorthStar said it anticipates filing its license renewal application ASAP.
