PER CURIAM: Sea-Fone, Limited appeals an order of the district court granting summary judgment to Communications Satellite Corporation (Comsat) on Sea-Fone's claims for antitrust violations, civil RICO, violations of the Federal Communications Act, misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud, tortious interference with contract, and breach of contract. Sea-Fone's allegations stem from its frustra- tion in attempting to compete with Comsat and others in the market for the provision of low-cost ship-to-shore telephone service for United States naval personnel.

After carefully examining the record and the parties' briefs, and having had the benefit of oral argument, we conclude that the district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of Comsat. Accordingly, we affirm.

AFFIRMED
