Hughes Urges EPFD Conditions on SpaceX

FCC approval of SpaceX's license modification (see 2104260077) should have addressed geostationary orbit interference concerns about SpaceX’s multiple ITU filings and its equivalent power flux density compliance, Hughes officials told an aide to FCC acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and International Bureau staffers, per a filing Friday. SpaceX doesn't dispute its ITU filings could be misused to avoid EPFD compliance, Hughes said, urging the agency to require on reconsideration that SpaceX put in an ITU finding that explicitly says the joint effects of multiple ITU filings associated with its constellation was taken into account for verifying EPFD compliance and confirm that EPFD data files given to requesting parties reflect the operations of its complete system. SpaceX didn't comment Monday.
