SCS Grants Beyond Testing Require 'Careful Consideration,' Lynk Says

Early supplemental coverage from space applicants should receive "careful consideration" by the FCC, as SCS is nascent technology with unknown and potentially unintended consequences, Lynk representatives told Commissioner Geoffrey Starks' office, according to a docket 23-65 filing Tuesday. With various entrants potentially using different spectrum and technology, it's critical to understand the impact of these entrants on existing license holders and the SCS ecosystem, it said. The company said it has concerns about grants of authority that go beyond the scope of the limited testing that was applied to it and AST SpaceMobile.
