) @SpaceX yesterday submitted interesting clarifications (📄licensing.fcc.gov/myibfs/downloa…) with new details about #Starlink Gen2 revealing it was actually filed with the @itu via Germany (@bnetza). A thread:
1/11 SpaceX laments the FCC's long lead times (original Gen2 filing pending for 1.5y, amendment for 5m) by which it justifies its *much earlier* ITU filing for Gen2 through Germany (p.8) & competitive risks from "asymmetric disclosures" b/c of transparent filing process in the US
