FCC chair criticizes slow pace of Amazon satellite launches
Mar 11, 2026 10:37 AM

WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - The chairman of the

Federal Communications Commission dismissed criticism from

Amazon.com ( AMZN ) of Elon Musk's SpaceX plan to launch a

constellation of up to 1 million satellites.

"I think Amazon ( AMZN ) should focus on getting Amazon's ( AMZN ) house in

order with their own launches and their own satellite

constellation, rather than worrying about other people that are

actually out there launching satellites at the pace and cadence

that SpaceX is," FCC Chair Brendan Carr told Reuters in an

interview.

On Friday, Amazon ( AMZN ) satellite unit Amazon Leo filed comments

with the FCC raising concerns about the SpaceX plan.
