The FCC displays its commitment to meeting the needs of innovative American space companies like Lynk
Lynk Global, Inc. (Lynk), the world’s leading satellite-direct-to-standard-mobile-phone telecoms company, today praised Chairwoman Rosenworcel’s plan to restructure the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create a Space Bureau, geared specifically toward driving transformational change while addressing the needs of the booming space sector, including innovative companies like Lynk.
“In an age of aggressive international competition, Chairwoman Rosenworcel understands the need to support innovative American-based space companies,” said Margo Deckard, Lynk COO and co-founder. “First carrying out a streamlined licensing process for small satellites, then increasing personnel, and now by spearheading this reorganization, the Chairwoman has moved decisively to support fast-moving American companies driving new technologies. This is not your father’s FCC.”
Lynk received the world’s first commercial license to provide satellite-direct-to-mobile-phone service from the FCC earlier this year using the streamlined process.
