Today FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel offered remarks on the FCC’s newly formed Space Bureau at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Aerospace Summit in Washington, DC. As she stated: “When we talk about the benefits of space-based innovation, it is easy to just offer broad statements about the importance of United States leadership and the value of growing the more than half-a-trillion dollar space economy. At least, I know it is for me. But it is important to remember that if all of us—policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators—do this right, we are not just boosting a job-creating industry, we are unlocking advances that have the power to make us safer in crisis and stronger in day-to-day life. That is how I try to think about space-based innovation and why I have made it a priority at the FCC like never before in our history.” Read her full speech: https://lnkd.in/gEgp4ipX. #space #innovation #satellites
