Transfer of Control
Current Licensee:
GEOEYE LICENSE CORP.FROM:
GEOEYE, INC.TO:
WorldView, LLCThis application seeks consent for Worldview, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Globe, Inc. (Digital Globe), to acquire control of space
station licenses held by GeoEye License Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GeoEye, Inc (GeoEye). The transaction involves Digital
Globe acquiring GeoEye and its subsidiaries' assets and operations.
DigitalGlobe and GeoEye both operate satellite systems in the earth-exploration satellite service (EESS). They collect, process and distribute
digital imagery of the Earth's land, oceans and atmosphere. Both DigitalGlobe and GeoEye serve commercial and governmental customers.
Applicants claim that the merger is in the public interest because it will result in a stronger and more efficient U.S. provider of EESS and will not
cause public interest harm because there is competition from global providers of earth imagery services, as well as aggregators of earth imagery
such as Microsoft and Google. See also File No. SES-T/C-20120817-00761 concerning earth station licenses. The applicants request that
additional licenses granted to GeoEye or any of its subsidiaries prior to consummation be included within the scope of any approval.
