"The FCC is moving fast to unleash affordable, high-speed internet. By discarding last century's satellite regulations, we could see billions of dollars in benefits for the American economy and broadband speeds many times faster than what is available today."
"This overdue rethinking of space spectrum sharing rules will bring greater competition to the broadband marketplace and reduce the number of satellites needed to serve a given area. Our Build America Agenda is unleashing America's space industry to deliver for consumers."
"The current system limits the ability of space-based operators to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband services to consumers. NGSO operators' power levels are restricted by Equivalent Power Flux Density limits developed in the late-1990s."
"If adopted, the report and order would lead to a framework featuring performance-based GSO protection criteria, taking advantage of improved spectrum sharing possibilities in modern satellites, including adaptive coding and modulation."
The FCC's report and order aims to update outdated satellite spectrum rules to improve GSO and NGSO systems. Proposed changes could generate over $2 billion in economic benefits and increase broadband capacity by up to sevenfold. The updates are expected to enhance internet speeds, reduce costs, and improve reliability. Current regulations limit NGSO operators' capabilities, but new performance-based criteria could facilitate better spectrum sharing. The initiative aligns with efforts to expand the low earth-orbit sector and manage increased satellite traffic.
