Hughes Challenges SpaceX Claim of No Standing

SpaceX arguments against Hughes' petition for reconsideration of a SpaceX license modification granted in April (see 2106080014) give no reason to uphold on reconsideration the FCC failing to impose license conditions that would limit SpaceX using its ITU filings to get around equivalent power flux density (EPFD) limits that protect geostationary orbit operators, Hughes said in an International Bureau reply Monday. Hughes also challenged SpaceX arguments that Hughes lacks standing, saying it's a party to the proceeding by virtue of its numerous filings seeking FCC relief including urging license conditions related to EPFD limits. SpaceX didn't comment Tuesday.
