According to an ex parte filing, Claure and Sprint SVP of Government Affairs Vonya McCann met with FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai and Pai's legal advisor Nicholas Degani to discuss Sprint's business operations and future plans. During the meeting, Claure talked about the importance of streamlining the siting process to allow more rapid deployment of small cells and network densification.
