The impartiality of those processes is a bit in question when the prime mover here is so far in bed with the executive that he gets to go up on stage during inauguration to sieg a few heils.

SpaceX has launched satellite under a previous government and even got them to fund deployment.

The ITU has also approved SpaceX actions.
