ITSO Decision Delayed by Pandemic: Intelsat to IB

The June 2021 International Telecommunications Satellite Organization meeting during which it would have considered terminating the agreement that gives it Intelsat oversight was canceled due to the pandemic and now is to take place by Q1, Intelsat officials told FCC International Bureau staffers per a docket 20-417 post Thursday. Intelsat asked the FCC to obligate it to still focus on nondiscriminatory access to its system, global connectivity and coverage even after termination of that ITSO agreement (see 2011180061).
