AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are urging the US Federal Communications Commission to remove the 2.5GHz and 3.45GHz bands from a proposal that would make more spectrum available for satellite-to-phone services, PCMag reports.
Why it mattersThe carriers say sharing those bands with satellite services could risk interference and disrupt synchronisation. The dispute is over how to expand direct satellite links to ordinary phones without unsettling existing 5G networks. Spectrum policy: rarely glamorous, often where the practical consequences live.
Discuss: Should regulators open more spectrum to satellite-to-phone services if that risks interference with established 5G networks?
