Focus on Accelerating C-Band Reimbursement, Intelsat Asks FCC

Intelsat representatives and FCC Wireless Bureau staff talked about effects of possible delays stemming from review of C-band auction winners' long-form applications and the need for the clearinghouse to finish its procedures handbook and begin processing reimbursement payments, said in a docket 18-122 post Thursday. With satellite operators pre-funding the clearing and spending heavily on transition-related expenses, "focus should be given to accelerate and ensure prompt reimbursement for these outlays," Intelsat said.
