The LDA keeps a separate client record for every registrant that files for a client, so this page adds up 10 records, one per registrant listed below. Records are combined when the client name matches once case, punctuation and endings such as Inc. or LLC are set aside; for a city, county or port the state has to match as well. These filings have also been reported as VIASAT, INC.
