SpaceX Putting Pricey RVs Before Rural Residents: PK
SpaceX is giving rural America "a back seat to gamers on mountain tops and luxury RVs," Public Knowledge told an aide to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, per an ex parte post Wednesday in docket 20-443. Citing delayed equipment shipments to rural households that have ordered Starlink, PK said the FCC should ensure SpaceX fulfills its mission of serving rural America before it can "speed after the luxury vacation market." It said SpaceX's waiver request also helps it undermine the FCC's ongoing analysis of whether to open the 12 GHz band to sharing. SpaceX didn't comment.
