It doesn't appear that they revoked their license in this case, so it seems that there is still zero meaningful consequence for this company who left their trash where it doesn't belong in orbit.
I'm not suggesting that the FCC should bankrupt an entire industry just for sport, but it'd sure be nice if they imposed an actual penalty against companies who violate their license and pollute the space around our planet forcing everyone else to dodge their trash and risking collisions.
This pathetic slap on the wrist isn't going to cause Dish to think twice about not cleaning up after themselves in the future.

- epivosism 3y agoReally strange viewpoint in this sub-thread. If a new government agent shows up telling you to pay it, it doesn't really matter how much they ask on day one; what you have to deal with is that they're real, they're aware, and they're monitoring you now. It's undeniable. That is the change you are confronted with, and it's very real. The point isn't to put a company out of business at the first strike. It's to convince them, the board, CEO, etc that this is a real thing and they need to adjust. Before that happens, you might never really know which laws people care about and which they don't.
