Starlink Mobile is getting closer to a massive expansion across the United States as the FCC considers unlocking 482 MHz of additional spectrum for satellite-to-phone connectivity
The FCC just voted to advance a major proposal to make an additional 482 MHz of spectrum available for direct-to-device satellite services, while removing regulatory barriers that have limited their expansion
For SpaceX's Starlink Mobile, this opens up enormous opportunities to expand network capacity, improve connectivity, and bring high-speed satellite internet directly to ordinary smartphones
SpaceX is already building its next-generation Starlink Mobile network, with authorization for a constellation of up to 15,000 direct-to-device satellites
And now the regulatory framework is moving toward making satellite-to-phone connectivity even more accessible
The future of eliminating mobile dead zones is getting closer
