Today, the House Energy & Commerce Committee advanced the Satellite and Telecommunications (SAT) Streamlining Act to the full House. The SpaceConnect Association releases the following statement, attributable to Executive Director David Redl:

“The Energy & Commerce Committee’s vote today to advance the SAT Streamlining Act to the full House marks another important milestone toward passing this crucial bill. The SAT Streamlining Act will ensure the FCC provides our members with clear deadlines so we can connect more unconnected and hard-to-reach communities with NGSO technology. We applaud the committee for today’s vote and urge the full House to pass this bill."
