The ACA Connects coalition proposed that the FCC lead an auction for 350 megahertz protected by a 20-megahertz guard band and use proceeds to replace satellite links with fiber.
The NRAO raised the issue with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission that OneWeb had not met the commission rule requiring coordination of spectrum adjacent to radio astronomy before beginning operations.
FCC regulations require OneWeb and other Ku-band constellations to coordinate with the observatory before beginning service in the United States.
The first ViaSat-3 was projected to launch over the Americas in 2021, with the ViaSat-3 global network projected to be completed during the second half of 2022, according to a June filing with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
Swarm was fined in 2024 for launching four satellites without an FCC license, and Swarm’s hockey puck-sized spacecraft are too small to qualify for the FCC’s streamlined license.
BlackSky Global filed an FCC application on 2019-07-25 seeking a license for four satellites it said would launch on the SSLV in 2019-11-01.
The FCC is considering at least two other C-band repurposing plans: a T-Mobile plan to repurpose all 500 megahertz and a Charter/ACA Connects/Competitive Carriers Association plan to repurpose 370 megahertz.
Under the proposed FCC rules, smallsat operators can choose authorization as a domestic operator or U.S. market access as a foreign operator for a $30,000 fee instead of the current $472,000 fee for satellites in non-geostationary orbits.
The FCC proposal creates a third licensing option distinct from the current geostationary and non-geostationary regulatory categories.
The Satellite Industry Association, led by president Tom Stroup, supports the FCC's draft smallsat regulations and intends to work with the Commission on the order.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved SpaceX’s plans to operate around 1,600 satellites at 550 km.
Charter Communications, ACA Connects, and the Competitive Carriers Association filed a counterplan with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on 2019-07-01 to repurpose 370 megahertz of satellite C-band spectrum through a public auction.
T-Mobile supports an FCC-led auction and has backed studies to free up the entire 500 megahertz of C-band for terrestrial 0.005 kg networks.
SpaceX is the first among the 11 participants in the FCC's Ku-Ka-band spectrum processing round to have Ku-band non-geosynchronous satellites operating over the United States.
SpaceX received Federal Communications Commission approval to operate a portion of its megaconstellation in a 550-kilometer orbit instead of the originally planned 1,150-kilometer altitude.
SpaceX obtained Federal Communications Commission approval to operate much of its Starlink constellation at 550 km instead of the originally planned 1,150 km.
SpaceX filed for a Federal Communications Commission communications license for its crewed test flight expecting that flight to take place within a six-month period starting 2019-11-01.
The FCC required a satellite licensed at 88.9 degrees west to be launched and operational by 2019-06-18 to retain market access rights.
Ajit Pai dismissed studies claiming that 0.005 kg services operating at 24 gigahertz could interfere with weather observations as flawed after FCC staff obtained the source code for one such modeling study.
Republican FCC commissioners Brendan Carr and Michael O’Rielly agreed with Ajit Pai that 24 gigahertz 0.005 kg services did not pose interference issues when polled by Senator Roger Wicker.
