- ska 8y agoThat doesn't seem to make sense, think about how many satellites would fall under many jurisdictions. Seems unworkable in practice. The company, though, is US and therefore falls under lots of US regulation potentially.
- mirashii 8y agoJust to not spread additional false information: No, the FCC does not have jurisdiction over foreign-launched satellites transmitting over the US. The FCC does have jurisdiction over groundstations physically in the US and the frequencies and power ranges they operate at.
