Hold Off on SCS Aggregate Interference Limits, SpaceX Says

The FCC should conduct a separate proceeding about aggregate out-of-band interference limits in supplemental coverage from space (SCS) service, SpaceX said. In a docket 23-65 filing Thursday recapping meetings with Space and Wireless Bureau and Office of Engineering and Technology staff, SpaceX said that approach would allow consideration via a more robust record and technical data than would tackling it in the SCS draft order on the agency's March agenda. The FCC "has an incomplete picture of supplemental coverage operations from multiple operators on which to base a general rule," SpaceX said, adding the proposed threshold is far too strict. It said if the agency doesn't defer consideration, it should revise the proposed limit.
