American company using American banking system. FCC has all the jurisdiction. They should've incorporated in a different country.

That wouldn't make any difference at all. If they go to India or New Zealand, and cause havoc for the FCC by doing something stupid, the US can crush them just the same by working with those governments. Essentially all nations capable of putting things into space have generally shown a desire to be good neighbors with everyone else when it comes to space. Just going to a different country wouldn't spare a company from the consequences of their actions.

  So you are saying the US is the world's bully and we'd better get in line?

    No, they're saying that all of the space-going nations tend to cooperate, and that they generally want to keep things safe for all.

  > Essentially all nations capable of putting things into space have generally shown a desire to be good neighbors with everyone else when it comes to space. China intentionally blew up one of their old satellites in 2007, in an event that increased the amount of space debris by as much as 75%. NATO responded a month later by adopting guidelines for such thing never to happen again.

Except that still doesn't matter. American companies break American laws all the time in their foreign branches. It's impossible not to, since countries have conflicting laws. Imagine if all employees of international conglomerates were required to pay American minimum wage? Do you understand how ridiculous and controlling that is?

  Actually, I think that'd be a pretty good thing, especially if that was higher than the local minimum wage.
