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.”

You might be wondering why the eight petitions for reconsideration mentioned above are still pending. So are we, especially since RNT Foundation is one of the petitioners!

In case you are wondering what the eight petitions were all about, click the below for a summary we posted back in May 2020:

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don't see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it's exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn't a feature — it's the foundation everything else depends on.
