SpaceX: Not Trying to 'Take Over' Verizon's FAA Contract

SpaceX denies that it's trying to grab a $2.4 billion Verizon FAA contract (see 2503030035). The satellite operator wrote Wednesday on X that it's working with the agency and L3Harris, the prime contractor for FAA telecommunications infrastructure, on testing Starlink as one part of an upgrade to that infrastructure. "There is no effort or intent for Starlink to 'take over' any existing contract," it said.
