Satellite Safety Alliance Applauds Bipartisan Senate Letter to FCC Urging Reconsideration of Ligado Order

August 17, 2022

The Satellite Safety Alliance applauds the bipartisan group of eight senators for their letter to the FCC urging the Commission to stay and reconsider the Ligado Order.

The grave concerns expressed in the letter reflect the overwhelming concern shared by 14 federal agencies and a vast federal and commercial user base of GPS, satellite communications, and weather forecasting services. This letter comes at a critical time, and we agree that the FCC must act quickly to address the imminent—but preventable—harm from Ligado’s proposed terrestrial network.
