Prohibits the FCC from approving satellite system licenses, U.S. market access petitions, or earth-station authorizations when the authorization would be owned or controlled by an entity that produces or provides any “covered communications equipment or service” or by that entity’s affiliate. It defines key terms (including "affiliate" with "own" meaning a 10% or greater equity interest) and requires the FCC to adopt implementing rules within one year; the ban applies to authorizations granted on or after the date of enactment.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
