SpaceX, DirecTV Raise 12 GHz Red Flags With FCC Commissioners

DirecTV and SpaceX continue lobbying against opening the 12 GHz band to mobile service, according to filings in docket 20-443. In meetings with the offices of FCC Commissioners Geoffrey Starks and Anna Gomez, DirecTV said RKF Engineering analyses are unreliable and use flawed methodologies. If some assumptions in RKF's studies are inaccurate, then "DIRECTV subscribers will be the ones to suffer," it said Monday. Meeting with Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel's office, SpaceX also was critical of RKF's work. SpaceX said the "shapeshifting analysis" should end the proceeding.
