Intelsat's Chapter 11 License Transfers get FCC OK

The FCC signed off on transfer of Intelsat's licenses to the reorganized New Intelsat, per an International and Wireless Bureaus and Office of Engineering and Technology order in Thursday's Daily Digest (docket 21-375). Intelsat's prompt emergence from Chapter 11 "is critical to the continued operation of authorized stations," the agency said. Rejecting an International Telecommunications Satellite Organization-proposed condition (see 2110260028), it said ITSO didn't raise issues specific to the restructuring plan or the associated ownership changes.
