| “Intelsat cannot bear the risks associated with the current Order as it is structured,” wrote Appaloosa President David Tepper. “We urge you to withhold acceptance pending negotiation of an agreement with the FCC on fair commercial terms. Failing that, we believe the Board has no choice but to resort to bankruptcy and litigation in order to protect Intelsat’s valuable license rights from an illegal modification.”“SES is disappointed by Intelsat’s eleventh-hour attempt to renounce its commitments made to other CBA members and the Commission over the course of this proceeding, in aid of a transparent and egregious attempt to capture a greater share of the proposed accelerated relocation payments,” the company said in a statement on Thursday. “Having worked collaboratively for a long period of time on this project, this sudden and recent change in direction by Intelsat is both disappointing and not legally compliant. SES will hold Intelsat responsible under its commitments.”“SES reaffirms its steadfast support for the Commission’s objectives to ensure global leadership in 5G, and it stands ready, willing, and able to play a central role in the expedited clearing of a portion of the C-band,” the company stated. “SES believes that there remains an important role for the C-Band Alliance (CBA), and that the CBA’s collaborative clearing plan is the most efficient path to clear the spectrum. That said, SES is prepared to act on its own in the clearing process if necessary, while protecting its customers.”“It has worked very well towards those goals in general because you can see a lot of the activity the CBA incorporated in the draft order. But as we know the FCC changed the path in November and moved towards a public auction,” he said, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript. When the draft order came out on February 7, “it was very clear that the FCC was treating each satellite operator individually and so, therefore, we believe it made sense for each company to respond from its own perspective.”It’s not clear what happens next. Wireless operators like AT&T and Verizon have been telling the FCC in separate filings how they think the C-band auction should be structured, and they’ve been relying on the C-band spectrum to fill their mid-band needs for 5G. T-Mobile also has been highly engaged throughout the process, even though it stands to gain a trove of 2.5 GHz spectrum with the Sprint transaction. -- ???????? | |||
