FCC Set To “Supercharge” Starlink Space Internet With “Seven-fold More Capacity”
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr wrote on X that the agency will vote late this month on an order aimed at “supercharging” internet access by scrapping outdated power limits on satellite broadband, unlocking faster speeds, greater capacity, and more reliable service.
On April 30, the FCC will vote on ” Modernizing Spectrum Sharing for Satellite Broadband ,” which would “promote efficient spectrum sharing between geostationary and non-geostationary satellite systems” and, in the FCC’s own words, would ” unlock more than $32 billion in economic benefits for the American people and up to seven-fold more capacity for space-based broadband services .”
FCC explained more:
Drawing from the state-of-the-art in satellite technology, the FCC’s new technical rules would revise the decades-old framework for how Geostationary Orbit (GSO) and Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) systems share spectrum. That 1990s-era framework predates the revolutionary changes in spectrum sharing technology that have been developed in the decades since.
The FCC’s new framework will enable faster speeds, lower costs, and greater reliability, representing another step to ensure that consumers benefit from competitive and affordable Internet options.
