The battle between SpaceX and Amazon surrounding a petition submitted by the latter to the FCC for changing rules related to the Commission's processing of modifications to existing applications for non-geostationary fixed-satellite service (NGSO FSS) internet service providers. Amazon, which has laid down a set of parameters for the FCC's consideration regarding the application of Section 25.117 of its rules argues that the current interpretation of this section stifles competition in the industry and allows service providers to upgrade their systems at the expense of competitors who intend to launch such systems in the future.
