FCC unlocked 1,000+ MHz of spectrum for satellite broadband like Starlink. • 12.7–13.25 GHz + 42–42.5 GHz opened for FSS (homes, planes, ships) • ~25% more downlink capacity to user terminals (FCC) • Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC: stronger rival to traditional ISPs Source: @FCC · @SIA_satellite · PCMag

FCC’s recent policy shifts consistently point toward LEO becoming a core communications infrastructure layer integrated with terrestrial networks, not just satellite internet. From SCS/D2D to relaxed device rules, improved spectrum efficiency, and unlicensed-device connectivity, the core LEO thesis is increasingly embedded in the regulatory roadmap. Ultimately, the real opportunity may lie not in the number of satellites, but in the NTN modem, RF, and connectivity ecosystem linking billions of devices across terrestrial and satellite networks.

FCC Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC on adding new foreign-made humanoid robots and other advanced robotics to the FCC's Covered List: "We need a safe domestic supply chain." "If you look to the future, those advanced robotics are going to be key to our economic and national security." "We're not going to take anything out of your hands right now. You can still buy, quote-unquote, new versions of existing models, but it's a way of signaling to the market that it's time to adjust." "We've done this before with drones. For instance, at the end of last year, we added all foreign-produced drones."
