Huh, for some reason, I thought that the FCC would fine and regulate this company into oblivion after their unauthorized launch stunt. Looks like that didn't quite happen the way I expected.

- elxx 4y agoSame, it's weird that this hasn't already been mentioned. They launched untrackable trash into space and got fined for it, nobody should trust this company. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-satellite-fine/fcc-fines-swarm-900000-for-unauthorized-satellite-launch-idUSKCN1OJ2WT https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-satellite-fine/fcc-fi...
- qchris 4y agoIt drives me up a wall that they got off basically consequence-free for that--I'm guess they probably made up the fine in reduced time cost spent on authorization proceedings anyway. "Move fast and break things" isn't a great motto anyway, but it's especially bad when those things are floating around in orbit.
