I think it has more to do with Russia's wanting to put a ground station in America to connect to their GPS satellite system.
Do Russia & Europe Need A US License To Transmit GNSS?
... over the US?
Is a license required to manufacture or use hardware to collect such signals?
In between the lines it appears the FCC is studying to grant licenses to others to transmit on those GNSS wavelengths.

could be. sounds like BS to me though. the FCC doesn't certify receiving devices that I'm aware of, only transmitting devices. hard to say what their "angle" is on this. these satellite spectrums are worked out by international agreement.
I don't think it has anything to do with that at all. According to Javad:
