WRC-23 Didn't Block EPFD Changes: SpaceX

The FCC should urgently clarify the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference's intention about updating rules for equivalent power flux density limits, SpaceX said Friday in docket 16-185. That clarification would eliminate delaying updates "critical to connecting more people as soon as possible," it said. In addition, it said SES/O3b is mischaracterizing the text of the WRC-23 minutes in saying the ITU conference decided no regulatory action on EPFD limits can occur at WRC-27 (see 2401300032). Administrations clearly have the ability at WRC-27 of supporting EPFD rule changes after receiving ITU Radiocommunication Sector results of studying possible EPFD limit changes, it said.
