Admonish Dish, SpaceX Urges FCC

Dish Network's array of challenges to SpaceX "dramatically understates the lengths to which [it is] willing to go to deny American consumers connectivity," SpaceX said Wednesday in docket 23-135. It said the FCC "should consider admonishing DISH for its waste of Commission time and caution it against continuing to abuse Commission processes." In a filing earlier this week, Dish recapped its pending requests for denials or dismissal of six separate SpaceX applications. Dish didn't comment Wednesday. Dish Executive Vice President-External & Legislative Affairs Jeff Blum emailed that the SpaceX filing "is yet another odd attack on DISH and the FCC's regulatory process. DISH’s advocacy has consistently raised serious interference and other concerns about various SpaceX applications pending at the FCC. Rather than respond to the substance of DISH’s concerns, SpaceX has once again chosen to attack the regulatory process."
