Fixed Satellite Systems

The Commission is hereby proposing rules that would eliminate the distinction between our Transborder Policy and Separate International Satellite Systems (Separate Systems) Policy and to treat all U.S.-licensed geostationary fixed-satellites under a single regulatory scheme. Our action is in response to applications from [[Page 24818]] domestic and international satellite system operators for authority to provide both domestic and international services. In addition, the Executive Branch has recommended that all U.S.-licensed fixed-satellites be subject to the same regulatory scheme. Permitting U.S. operators to provide the widest range of service offerings technically feasible will allow them to use their satellites more efficiently and to provide innovative and customer-tailored services.
