Letter re: 4570 U.S. Tech PATH Act

The Commercial Space Federation (CSF) expresses support for S. 4570, the U.S. Tech PATH Act, framing it as a tool to counter China’s growing use of space and telecommunications infrastructure as leverage abroad by creating an accessible pathway for partner governments to procure trusted U.S. capabilities, with CSF particularly praising the bill’s demand-driven approach and its embedding of technical expertise in local embassies. CSF urges the Committee to expand the bill’s scope or clarify that “digital services” includes space-based data and services like commercial remote sensing, satellite communications, and broadband connectivity, citing its own Redshift report’s finding that China has used over 80 international infrastructure projects under its Belt and Road Initiative to build long-term dependency among partner nations, and positions U.S. commercial space companies as a trusted alternative across those same service needs.
