 solutions, some of which are currently applicable to us and others that will become applicable to us as we expand our operations. As we expand service to additional countries and regions, we will become subject to additional governmental approvals and regulations. 

Radio Spectrum

Certain of our services rely on the use of radio communications spectrum, which is regulated in the United States and in most other countries. In the United States, spectrum access is licensed and regulated by the FCC. We hold radio licenses issued by the FCC that authorize the use of 8 MHz of contiguous spectrum in the 900 MHz band covering more than 90% of the population in the United States, and on March 7, 2024, we announced an agreement, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire an additional 4 MHz of M-LMS licenses in parts of the United States. These licenses and the FCC rules impose obligations on us regarding the use of this spectrum, including power and operational limits, coexistence, build-out, and usage requirements, and a license renewal obligation. We must comply with these requirements to retain access and use of these spectrum resources.

On April
16, 2024, we filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC, seeking to
significantly accelerate and expand the availability of our PNT services as a
complement and backup to GPS through a modernization of the Lower 900 MHz band,
and the configuration and operating rules governing our licenses. The Petition
is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process.

Privacy

 In developing highly accurate location information, we collect, process, transmit and store personal information, such as certain individual geolocation information, and other personal information relating to its business contacts, personnel, end users, and website visitors. A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of this information. The U.S. privacy and data protection legal landscape continues to evolve, with California and Virginia having enacted broad-based data privacy and protection legislation and with states and the federal government continuing to consider additional data privacy and protection legislation. As we expand overseas, our joint venture partners will be subject to foreign data privacy and protection legislation, and we may be as well.

Export

Our business plans are based in part on the distribution of its services worldwide. We are required to comply with U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security and the foreign asset control regulations
