$RKLB $IRDM $SPCX 👀 FCC docket 26-257 update (Iridium → Rocket Lab transfer) Comment/petition deadline (Oct 15) produced three notable filings: • Hampton Roads Chamber: “we are writing to share our support for Rocket Lab’s acquisition of Iridium Communications and to encourage the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to grant rapid approval for this acquisition” • SpaceX: “Iridium’s demand for veto power over its competitors’ use of critical, shared Ka-band spectrum reinforces serious concerns as to whether its proposed transaction with Rocket Lab is in the public interest.” (Notes Iridium withdrew its 116 petitions to block SpaceX backhaul; does not oppose the deal.) • Ligado: Cites SpaceX that “Iridium exploits Commission procedure to deny or delay its competitors from providing better service to millions of American consumers, businesses, and first responders,” and says it has experienced the same tactics. Asks whether the application would “frustrate rather than advance competition for Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) offerings.” No petitions to deny filed. Responses due Oct 30; replies Nov 9.
