A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld the decision
of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
to approve a SpaceX plan to deploy some Starlink satellites
at a lower Earth orbit than planned as part of
its push to offer space-based broadband internet.
Elon Musk's SpaceX won FCC approval in 2021
to fly 2,824 satellites at a lower orbit to provide
high-speed broadband internet services to people who
currently lack access Competitors Viasat Inc (VSAT.O) and
DISH Network Corp challenged the FCC approval
