91 groups across a wide range of industries have sent a letter urging the Biden Administration and Congress to work with the FCC to stay and ultimately set aside the harmful Ligado Order.
In the letter, the groups stated:
“Three years after adoption of the Order, as eight petitions for reconsideration remain pending, we again urge you to work together with the FCC to stay and ultimately set aside the Order. Critically, this is now necessitated by the crucial, previously unavailable information that was produced at the direction of Congress: the independent technical review undertaken by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (“NAS”) analyzing the potential interference issues related to the Ligado Order.”
