You'd think satellite capacity would be subject to some more international set of regulations than those of the FCC. Are you saying that if I buy preemptable capacity on PAS-N to uplink from New Zealand and downlink to Fiji, that the capacity is subject to preemption by the US Government under FCC rules?
Or is there an assumption here that there's an (up|down)link on US soil involved?
There are satellites not subject to US FCC regulations. PAS-2 isn't one of them.
