Page 1 of 10 ISP-PDR-20220729-00008 E Truphone, Inc. Petition for Declaratory Ruling Grant of Authority Date of Action: 08/31/2022 On July 29, 2022, Truphone, Inc. (TI), SmartCall, LLC (SmartCall), iSmart Mobile, LLC (iSmart) and Truphone Limited (together, Petitioners) filed a petition for declaratory ruling (Petition) pursuant to section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") and section 1.5000(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, asking the Commission to find that it would serve the public interest to approve the indirect foreign ownership of iSmart above the 25% benchmarks in section 310(b)(4). 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4); 47 CFR § 1.5000(a)(1). iSmart holds a broadband PCS license, call sign WPSJ976 and two fixed microwave industrial business pool licenses (call signs WRDX252 and WRDX253). WPSJ976 is subject to a pending license renewal application. See Application File No. 0009568198. TI holds international section 214 authorization ITC-214-20081112-00494. For the reasons set forth below and with the conditions set forth below, we grant the Petition. SmartCall is the direct U.S. controlling parent of iSmart, a wholly owned subsidiary of SmartCall, both Delaware limited liability companies. SmartCall, in turn, is wholly owned by TI, a Delaware corporation. Truphone Limited is a private limited liability company organized under the laws of England and Wales, and it holds 100% of the direct voting and equity interest in TI. According to the Petitioners, Truphone Limited expects to enter into a temporary administration process under the laws of the United Kingdom ("U.K. Administrative Process") in connection with a sale to new ownership. Truphone Limited anticipates the United Kingdom's High Court of Justice, the Business Property Courts of England and Wales (the "U.K. Court"), will issue an order placing Truphone Limited into administration under the Insolvency Act of 1986. The laws of the United Kingdom permit directors of companies to choose the administrators, and Truphone Limited has selected Mr. Geoffrey Rowley and Mr. Philip Armstrong (together, "U.K. Administrators"), both U.K. citizens who are chartered accountants and licensed insolvency practitioners. Petitioners state that as a part of overseeing the U.K. Administrative Process, the U.K. Court will formally appoint the U.K. Administrators that Truphone Limited has selected. According to the Petitioners, upon entering the U.K. Administrative Process, the U.K. Administrators will act on a joint and several basis and will have control over Truphone Limited. Petitioners state that upon entering administration, the U.K. Administrators will file applications regarding the involuntary transfer of control for the licenses and authorizations held by iSmart and TI. See 47 CFR §§ 1.948(c)(2); 63.24(g). Petitioners state that certain shareholders of Truphone Limited are potentially subject to sanctions in the United Kingdom. According to the Petitioners, the U.K. Administrative Process will effectively insulate Truphone Limited from influence by such persons and enable the sale of Truphone Limited to new owners. As presently contemplated, upon entering the U.K. Administrative Process, the non-U.S. assets of Truphone Limited will be immediately transferred to the buyer. Truphone Limited and the buyer will then file with the Commission the applications required by the Communications Act and a section 310(b) petition for transfer of control or assignment of the U.S. licenses and authorizations held by iSmart and TI to the buyer. Truphone Ltd. will remain in the U.K. Administrative Process until it receives all the necessary approvals for transfer of control of the U.S. assets and the transaction is consummated. Petitioners request that the Commission streamline the processing and grant of this Petition in order to facilitate the U.K. Administrative Process. They argue that grant of this Petition is in the public interest because it will enable Truphone Limited to enter administration for the purpose of completing a sale to new owners that will remove all of the existing owners, including certain owners who are potentially subject to sanctions in the United Kingdom. Streamlined processing will also ensure the continued provision of services to customers in the United States. Petitioners argue that streamlined processing is appropriate because the underlying transaction involves an involuntary transfer of control of the wireless licenses and international section 214 authorization held by iSmart and TI, respectively, to the Administrators for a limited period during which the U.K Court will oversee the process, rather than a substantial transfer of control of the licenses and authorization to a new owner. We find that it is in the public interest to grant this Petition that would allow Truphone Limited to enter into the U.K. Administrative Process. The U.K. Administrative Process is similar to the bankruptcy process in the United States. It is the Commission's policy to recognize the bankruptcy laws, and where possible, to accommodate them in a manner that is consistent with the Communications Act. See, e.g., Stanford Springel as Chapter 11 Trustee for the Bankruptcy Estate of Innovative Communication Corporation, and National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation and its Subsidiaries, Applications for Consent to Assign and Transfer Control, Order, 24 FCC Rcd 14360, 14369 para. 19 (WCB, MB, WTB, IB 2009). We will process this Petition consistent with the processing of assignments and transfers of control to U.S. bankruptcy trustees and debtors-in-possession. As with those assignments and transfers of control, we will not refer the Petition to the Executive Branch. The applications and 310(b) petition for the transfer of the U.S. assets to the buyer will be subject to full review for a substantive transaction, including review by the Executive Branch for any proposed foreign ownership of the U.S. licensees. The Petitioners request that the Commission approve 100% aggregate indirect foreign ownership (equity and voting) of SmartCall in order to facilitate the U.K. Administrative Process. Pursuant to section 1.5001(i), Petitioners seek specific approval for the following entity and individuals to hold indirect ownership interests in SmartCall and iSmart: Truphone Limited (100% equity, 100% voting) (England and Wales); Geoffrey Rowley (as Administrator of Truphone Limited) (United Kingdom); and Philip Armstrong (as Administrator of Truphone Limited) (United Kingdom). We find that the public interest would not be served by prohibiting foreign ownership of SmartCall in excess of the 25% benchmarks in section 310(b)(4) of the Act. We, therefore, grant the Petition subject to the conditions set out herein. This ruling authorizes aggregate foreign ownership of SmartCall, the direct controlling U.S. parent of iSmart, to exceed, directly and/or indirectly, 25% of its equity and/or voting interests, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in section 1.5004 of the Commission's rules, including the requirement to obtain Commission approval before foreign ownership of SmartCall and iSmart exceeds the terms and conditions of this ruling. 47 CFR § 1.5004. Pursuant to section 1.5001(i) of the rules, we grant Petitioners' request to permit the above listed foreign-organized entity and individuals to hold, directly and/or indirectly, equity and/or voting interests in SmartCall. 47 CFR § 1.5001(i). Page 2 of 10 Petitioners have an affirmative duty to monitor their foreign equity and voting interests, calculate these interests consistent with the principles enunciated by the Commission, including the standards and criteria set forth in sections 1.5002 through 1.5003 of the Commission's rules and otherwise ensure continuing compliance with the provisions of section 310(b) of the Act. 47 CFR §§ 1.5002-1.5003; 47 CFR § 1.5004, Note to paragraph (a). Grant of the Petition is conditioned on compliance by TI and Truphone Limited with the commitments and undertakings set forth in the August 22, 2012 Letter of Assurances from Gregory Mappledoram, General Counsel, Truphone Limited to Ms. Lisa Monaco, Assistant Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice (August 22, 2012 LOA).

A failure to comply and/or remain in compliance with any of these conditions shall constitute a failure to meet a condition of this ruling and the underlying licenses and thus grounds for declaring them terminated without further action on the part of the Commission. Failure to meet a condition of this ruling may also result in monetary sanctions or other enforcement action by the Commission. Grant of this declaratory ruling is without prejudice to the Commission's action on any other related pending application(s). The grant is also without prejudice to any enforcement action by the Commission for non-compliance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or the Commission's rules.
