NEWS: FCC modernizes satellite spectrum sharing rules in major boost for Starlink. The FCC voted today to replace the decades-old Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) framework. It was designed for theoretical 1990s tech. They switched to modern performance-based GSO protection criteria. The new rules take full advantage of current satellite technology like adaptive coding and modulation. This change is expected to deliver: - Faster speeds and lower latency - Up to 7x more capacity for space-based broadband - Over $2 billion in new economic benefits - Much better high-speed internet in rural and remote areas The old EPFD limits had been holding back Starlink and other NGSO systems. Regulations have finally caught up to today’s satellite realities.
