"New space-based innovations like low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites have the potential to finally give every American access to reliable, affordable, high-speed broadband and the 21st-century opportunities that it unlocks,"
"For the American people to fully benefit from space innovation, policymakers need to keep modernizing rules and regulations that were meant for our grandparents' space race. This is key to unlocking greater investment and allowing these new solutions that Americans are waiting for to scale up quickly."
Connect Everyone Coalition coordinated twenty organizations to ask nine federal agencies to modernize and streamline commercial space policies. The effort focuses on low-earth orbit (LEO) technologies and aims to reduce bureaucratic obstacles slowing deployment. The initiative identified four main redundancies and inefficiencies: fragmented multi-agency approvals, redundant environmental reviews, duplicate range safety determinations, and insufficient transparency around scheduling and delays. Groups involved include local businesses, connectivity experts, industry associations, and veterans organizations, with signatories such as Chamber of Progress, National Grange, and Frontier Institute. The request targeted federal agencies including the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration.
