Location
Virtual

NEW STREET RESEARCH US Policy Analyst, Blair Levin, and US Telco Analyst, Jonathan Chaplin, will be hosting a call to discuss our take on the SATS vs SpaceX battle on WEDNESDAY, MAY 14TH, 11AM ET.

WHY:

  • SATS and SpaceX have had a number of spectrum related battles at the FCC.
  • Recently SpaceX has petitioned the FCC to allow it to utilize the AWS 4/2 GHz band SATS is using.
  • Monday, the FCC released a public notice asking for public comment on whether it should do that and/or in other ways address SATS use of spectrum.
  • In the call we will discuss the legal, policy, and political elements of the path forward for SATS and its efforts to create a facilities based wireless competitor and/or monetize its spectrum holdings.
