We previously have reported on Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) authorization of use of earth stations installed on aircraft to communicate with Fixed-Satellite Service (“FSS”) spacecraft in geostationary orbits.  These Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft are part of a broader category of Earth Stations in Motion (“ESIMs”).  FCC regulations regarding licensing and operational requirements of ESIMs tend to be similar, but not identical, across the various subcategories of ESIMs, with differences generally dependent on the type of vehicle (ships, airplanes, or land-based) to which the Earth Station is attached.  Recently, the FCC issued a Report and Order intended to streamline, consolidate, and harmonize the rules governing these earth stations used to provide satellite services.  At the same time, the FCC issued a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments on expanding the frequencies that ESIMs may use.
