Viasat Seeks Denial of SpaceX RDOF Application

Viasat asked the FCC to deny SpaceX's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction long-form application, in a letter posted Wednesday in docket 19-126. SpaceX "has made every effort to duck critical questions" about its ability to satisfy RDOF requirements, Viasat said. SpaceX provisionally won $900 million to serve 23 states (see 2104090039). Viasat questioned SpaceX's financial capabilities and whether it had enough spectrum. SpaceX didn’t comment.
