The FCC is set to vote on auctioning 25MHz of what CNBC calls “prime spectrum”, in a move that could benefit Amazon and SpaceX.
Why it mattersCNBC says both companies are expanding direct-to-device services using satellite networks. The report identifies a possible boost for that technology, but the supplied details do not establish what the auction’s rules or outcome will be. Spectrum decisions can shape which services satellite operators can offer, and on what terms.
Discuss: Should regulators auction scarce spectrum to support satellite-to-phone networks, or prioritise other users?
