The Satellite Industry Association met with the FCC on further modifications that could be made to streamline Part 25 rules and reduce regulatory burdens on the satellite industry. SIA focused on issues like ITU filings for satellites, the commission’s two-degree spacing rules, and “streamlined processing of some space station and earth station modifications,” it said in an ex parte filing posted Wednesday in docket 12-267 (http://bit.ly/TRphxc).
