WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2026 – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce came out in support of the Satellite and Telecommunications Streamlining Act on Wednesday, as the bill continues to garner business and institutional support. 

In a statement issued Tuesday, the chamber noted that the rapidly growing industry needs to be supported by a streamlined permitting process in order for the US to support continued investment and increased deployment. 

“Modernizing the FCC’s satellite licensing regime is essential to fostering innovation, attracting investment, and maintaining the United States’ competitive edge in the rapidly evolving satellite and telecommunications sectors,” said Christopher Roberti, senior vice president of cyber, space, and national security policy for the chamber.
