ITU rejects Australia’s Optus 11 two-year deployment extension request, citing known risk of using an untested satellite design International Telecommunication Union regulators denied Australia’s request for a two-year deadline extension to deploy Optus 11 at 160 degrees east in geostationary orbit. The ITU said the decision to use an untested satellite design was a known risk, and therefore did not warrant extending deployment obligations.
