Lynk Clearly Has Bigger Constellation Plans: Hughes

Lynk said implications raised by its proposed satellite-provided mobile service should be considered at another time, but the FCC "should decline Lynk's invitation to act first and think later," Hughes told the International Bureau Friday. Lynk obviously has bigger plans than a 10-satellite constellation once it gets U.S. customers, and another company, AST, also has a pending application to provide similar service, Hughes said. It urged instead denial or deferred action on Lynk's application until the broader issues are addressed. Lynk outside counsel didn't comment Monday.
