FCC Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Amazon for challenging SpaceX’s regulatory filings while lagging behind its own satellite deployment commitments, calling the move hypocritical. Amazon had petitioned regulators to reject SpaceX’s proposed 1-million-satellite constellation, arguing it could worsen orbital congestion and interference risks. Carr’s rebuke highlights Amazon’s slow progress in deploying its Project Kuiper satellite network, which has missed key FCC-mandated deadlines for orbital rollout. The dispute underscores growing tensions between rival megaconstellation operators as both race to dominate low-Earth orbit broadband services. Regulators appear increasingly reluctant to entertain complaints from companies failing to meet their own obligations while scrutinizing competitors.
