ORDER
Adopted:  September 17, 2015 Released: September 17, 2015
By the Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
1. Northstar Wireless, LLC and SNR Wireless LicenseCo, LLC (each an “Applicant” and 
jointly “Applicants”) jointly request an extension of time until 3:00 pm on October 1, 2015, to submit 
either (a) the additional payment or (b) the irrevocable, standby letter of credit (LOC) required by 
paragraphs 153, 155, 158 and 160 of the Commission’s Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) in the 
above-captioned proceeding.
1
  Under the MO&O, each Applicant has until 3:00 pm on September 17, 
2015, to submit either an additional payment or an LOC and opinion letter as discussed in the MO&O.  
The Applicants submit that good cause exists to grant an additional two weeks because the “MO&O gives 
rise to new and complex business issues that Applicants must resolve before they can meet the payment 
or LOC requirements of the MO&O.”
2
  
2. Although we disagree that the MO&O itself gives rise to “new and complex business 
issues,”
3
we appreciate that the Applicants may need additional time to resolve certain matters given the 
unprecedented size and complexity of their financial arrangements and contractual obligations with DISH 
(as defined in the MO&O).
4
  In the Request, the Applicants confirm that if they elect to deliver LOCs 
instead of making the payment, the date for ultimate payment will remain December 16, 2015.
5
  For this
