Big news, the FCC voted today to advance new satellite-to-phone rules that could benefit @SpaceX's Starlink Mobile, despite lobbying efforts by AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to restrict parts of this proposal. FCC: "This marks a major step to unleash American innovation and investment in next-generation connectivity." The FCC voted to advance a proposal that would: • Open up an additional 482 MHz of spectrum for satellite-to-phone services, expanding eligible frequency bands from 5 to 13. • Eliminate restrictive spectrum-leasing requirements • Remove rigid geographic coverage restrictions • Allow more flexible agreements between satellite operators and wireless carriers • Modernize technical rules to allow more efficient spectrum use • Reconsider exclusive-use rights for certain satellite spectrum bands If finalized, these changes could make it easier for SpaceX to expand Starlink Mobile, access additional spectrum, and reduce regulatory barriers. Here's what happens next: • Late 2026: Public comment period opens, allowing SpaceX, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and others to weigh in. • Late 2026–Early 2027: Companies submit comments and responses arguing for or against specific rule changes. • Early–Mid 2027: The FCC reviews the feedback, evaluates interference concerns, and considers revisions. • Sometime in 2027: The FCC holds a final vote to officially adopt the new regulations.
