ORDER
Adopted:  July 11, 2012 Released:  July 12, 2012
By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
1. We have before us the captioned application to partition and disaggregate the license for 
VHF Public Coast (VPC) Station WPOJ535 from MariTEL Mississippi River, Inc. (MariTEL) to Eastern 
Kentucky Power Cooperative, Inc. (EKPC),1 and a petition to deny the application filed by Environmentel 
LLC, Verde Systems LLC, Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, Intelligent Transportation & Monitoring 
Wireless LLC, and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation (Petitioners).2 Petitioners argue that the application 
should be dismissed, denied, or held in abeyance due to questions about the basic character qualifications 
of Donald DePriest and for other reasons unrelated to the assignment of VPC spectrum to EKPC.3 In 
another matter involving MariTEL applications, we recently held that the issues raised by the Petition do 
not, under the Commission’s policies, constitute grounds to defer processing of MariTEL applications.4  
Consequently, we deny the Petition.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 303(r) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i) and 303(r), and Section 1.939 of the 
Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.939, the Petition to Dismiss or Deny, Or in the alternative Section 
1.41 Request filed by Environmentel LLC, Verde Systems LLC, Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, 
Intelligent Transportation & Monitoring Wireless LLC, and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation on 
November 18, 2009, IS DENIED, and application FCC File No. 0004029237 SHALL BE PROCESSED in 
accordance with this Order and the Commission’s Rules.
