    SpaceX Wants to End Rural Broadband Subsidies (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    SpaceX has now told the FCC multiple times that the agency should begin the process of phasing down and eliminating all rural high-cost subsidies from the Universal Service Fund. The company filed comments asking for the end of subsidies in FCC Docket 26-96, which is looking at reforming the High-Cost Fund for an all-IP future, and in Docket 10-90, which is looking at Universal Service Fund reform. In both filings, SpaceX says that its proliferation of low-orbit satellites means that rural subsi

    Starlink’s Other Network (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Benton Institute recently wrote an article reminding me that Starlink operates a second satellite network, separate from the one that serves residential and business broadband customers. The company announced this network, which it dubs Starshield, at the end of 2022. Today, this network is now highlighted on the SpaceX website. Starshield is touted as a military-grade network, which in layman’s terms means a separate network that doesn’t share any traffic with commercial customers. In the U

This is becoming an increasingly important question because of the increasing number of satellites. There are currently 18,000 satellites in orbit, and 29,000 total objects, including spent rocket bodies, dead satellites, and large pieces of space debris. Goldman Sachs research says there could be as many as 305,000 satellites in orbit

    Starlink’s Unconventional Approach to Cellular (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There was an announcement on SpaceX’s first-ever earnings call that got the attention of the wireless industry. SpaceX said on the call that Starlink would enter the terrestrial cellular business by building a large number of cell sites provisioned with satellite backhaul. The company would leverage the power of its next-generation V3 satellites, along with an increasingly large fleet of satellites, to provide backhaul to feed cell sites. It’s impossible to know if the company is serious about t

    Wi-Fi 7 Adoption Is Accelerating (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Ookla recently published a research article that documents the implementation of Wi-Fi 7 in the U.S. and around the world. Wi-Fi 7 routers were introduced to the market in early 2024, and Ookla reports that deployment has already reached 7.2% in the country. That’s a big uptake in a year and a half, considering that broadband customers hang on to Wi-Fi routers unless changing service providers. It’s not surprising that Wi-Fi is being adopted. Wi-Fi 7 brings a big improvement over Wi-Fi 6 and ear
