Hughes Decries 'Unprecedented' Spectrum Changes Sought by AST, Lynk

Pending applications from Lynk and AST seek "an unprecedented revision to spectrum allocations" in the form of approval to transmit with protection on terrestrial frequencies from space, Hughes representatives told an aide to FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington, per an International Bureau ex parte post last week. Such a policy question raises technical matters like the possibility of interference with terrestrial wireless, it said, repeating its call for a full proceeding (see 2111010011). AST and Lynk didn't comment Monday.
