Elon Musk’s rocket company recently won regulatory approval to provide satellite-internet service to planes, boats and recreational vehicles. But the company’s battles in Washington are just getting started.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX, is urging the Federal Communications Commission to avoid making new rules that it says would hobble its Starlink internet service, which depends on a swarm of low-flying satellites. That has put the company and satellite operators like OneWeb and Kepler Communications Inc. at odds with Dish Network and others that want the FCC to open more room on the spectrum for fifth-generation wireless service.
