Elon Musk's SpaceX has filed a ceremonial missive with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) astir Amazon's petition to contradict SpaceX’s 1 million-satellite connection for orbiting information centers. In the letter, SpaceX argues that if regulators use Amazon’s criticisms to its application, they indispensable besides use the aforesaid standards to Amazon laminitis Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, which themselves person filed an exertion for 51,600 AI satellites (original datacenter). In its filing, Blue Origin proposes to motorboat up to 51,600 datacenter satellites. The filing argues that FCC should o.k. Blue Origin’s plans due to the fact that “insatiable request for AI workloads” means orbiting servers correspond “a complement to terrestrial infrastructure by introducing a caller compute tier that operates independently of Earth-based constraints.” The filing says that the explosive maturation successful artificial quality (“AI”) workloads, instrumentality learning, and unreality computing is driving unprecedented request for information halfway capableness that is already encountering terrible roadblocks to standard done terrestrial infrastructure alone.SpaceX seems to beryllium efficaciously turning Amazon’s statement backmost connected them, pushing for adjacent attraction crossed competing abstraction projects.
Read SpaceX's missive to FCC
Dear Ms. Dortch Blue Origin suggests its exertion is "similarly situated" to SpaceX's pending orbital information halfway strategy application.' In specified situations, Amazon repeatedly requested that the Commission spend "similarly situated" applications akin treatment, arguing the nonaccomplishment to bash truthful volition "distort the playing field, present uncertainty and ambiguity that ossifies the licensing process with warring and advocacy, and marque coordination among operators much difficult."Accordingly, SpaceX submits for the grounds Amazon's petition to contradict SpaceX's orbital information halfway exertion and requests that the Commission use the substantive and procedural arguments successful Amazon's petition to Blue Origin's exertion to facilitate equitable and accordant reappraisal and attraction crossed some applications.To that aforesaid end, SpaceX incorporates by notation each nationalist comments submitted connected the grounds successful its orbital information halfway exertion and requests the Commission measure the aforesaid substantive and procedural arguments with respect to Blue Origin's application.Sincerely,/s/ Cecilia Tenge-RietbergCecilia Tenge-RietbergSenior Satellite Policy ManagerSpace Exploration Technologies Corp.
