No Benefit to OK'ing Part of 2nd-Gen Plans: SpaceX

Amazon's proposal that the FCC approve a slice of SpaceX's second-generation constellation (see 2206270001) "would needlessly harm consumers here and abroad and significantly strain Commission resources with no offsetting benefit," SpaceX told the International Bureau Wednesday. Such a piecemeal approach would undermine Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel's goal of speeding application processing of satellite applications because SpaceX would have to go back to the agency nearly 20 times, potentially delaying reviews of other operators' applications, it said.
