WASHINGTON :SpaceX on Friday challenged the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's decision to deny the space company's satellite internet unit $885.5 million in rural broadband subsidies, calling the move"flawed" and"grossly unfair," in a regulatory filing.

"The decision appears to have been rendered in service to a clear bias towards fiber, rather than a merits-based decision to actually connect unserved Americans," SpaceX's senior director of satellite policy, David Goldman, wrote in a scathing appeal filed Friday evening.SpaceX's Starlink, a fast-growing network of more than 3,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, has tens of thousands of users in the U.S.

SpaceX under the program had sought to provide 100/20 Mbps service to 642,925 locations in 35 states. The company in its appeal said the FCC erroneously evaluated Starlink's performance.
