TR Daily Covers ICLE and New America LEO Policy Event
TR Daily covered the ICLE-New America LEO Policy Symposium in its story “Speakers Detail Efforts to Find Space for LEO Services.”
The rise in low earth-orbit (LEO) satellite deployments has necessitated policy discussions about many regulatory and competition issues, including how to facilitate that growth, protect existing satellite services, and fit such services into government funding initiatives like the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, speakers said today during an event held by the Wireless Future Project at New America’s Open Technology Institute and the International Center for Law & Economics. Those groups, which co-chair the LEO Policy Working Group, released a report last month that said LEO satellite growth was “hamstrung by limited access to spectrum, constrained power levels, and outdated regulations that impose more restrictive and burdensome licensing and coordination requirements than are needed” (TR Daily, Oct. 30).
