ITSO Issues Not FCC Business, Intelsat Says

FCC OK of transferring Intelsat operations to new ownership when it emerges from Chapter 11 bankruptcy won't affect Intelsat's existing license condition about the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization or the terms of its public service agreement with ITSO, Intelsat said in a docket 21-375 filing Friday. Intelsat said ITSO’s call for the commission to involve itself in Intelsat/ITSO contract terms (see 2110260028) is outside the scope of the proceeding or the federal agency's purview.
