Dish Seeks Rehearing of DC Circuit's SpaceX License Mod Ruling

Dish Network petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc of its August decision upholding FCC approval of a license modification to SpaceX's Starlink system (see 2208260035). In the docket 21-1123 petition Tuesday, Dish said the three-judge panel should have decided the FCC needed to consider Dish’s evidence of likely interference and that the FCC incorrectly waived a rule requiring an ITU favorable finding.
