Bezo's Amazon attacks StarLink and urges FCC to stop it's evolution
|
FUD In Action. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt | [SpaceNews] Amazon is urging the Federal Communications Commission to dismiss SpaceX’s revised plans for its second-generation Starlink constellation, saying they are too broad and speculative.
SpaceX proposed two potential configurations for nearly 30,000 follow-on satellites Aug. 18, which Amazon said breaks FCC rules that require details of a proposed amendment to be settled before filing such an application.
SpaceX intends to proceed with just one of the options, but Amazon said filing for two also doubles the technical effort that operators face to review interference and orbital debris concerns.
Amazon's Project Kuiper has yet to deploy any of its planned broadband satellites.
SpaceX said in a July presentation that it had launched 1,740 satellites for its first-generation Starlink constellation so far, serving around 90,000 customers in 12 countries.
