Globalstar Presses FCC Space Bureau on C-3 Constellation Approval

Globalstar is urging FCC Space Bureau Chief Jay Schwarz to approve its proposed C-3 constellation (see 2502280001). In a filing Tuesday recapping a meeting with Schwarz, Globalstar said SpaceX -- which has argued there first should be a rulemaking proceeding regarding the big low earth orbit band (see 2410020029) -- has never offered technical explanations of how it could operate on a co-frequency basis in the 1.6/2.4 GHz bands without interfering with Globalstar's mobile satellite service (MSS) offerings. Globalstar said the big LEO MSS licensing status quo "has been an extraordinary success, based on the regulatory and investment certainty ... and there is no justification for modifying this framework."
