Royal Caribbean Urges FCC to OK SpaceX ESIM License

Marine vessel operations continue to suffer from bad satellite broadband due to attrition, bankruptcies and consolidation, Royal Caribbean told the FCC International Bureau Friday, urging it to approve SpaceX's pending application for a blanket license for second-generation earth stations in motion. It said SpaceX offers "a true next generation solution for our vessels that meets the rigorous technical and operational requirements commensurate with our growth plans."
