Space Imaging further asserts that the majority of the default service rules referred to in Section 25.217 of the Commission's rules, by their own terms, do not apply to an in-orbit EESS system. Specifically, Space Imaging maintains that Sections 25.142(d), 25.143(b)(2)(ii), 25.143(b)(2)(iii), 25.204(g), and 25.210(c) of the default service rules are inapplicable.
