The FCC Is Right To Keep Every Band on the Table for Direct-to-Device
At its August 6 open meeting, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is scheduled to vote on a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Unleashing Unlicensed Spectrum for Direct-to-Device.” This proceeding will examine whether devices operating across more than 225 megahertz of unlicensed spectrum in the 902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz, and 5725-5850 MHz bands should be authorized for satellite communications. The item represents a commendable step in the Commission’s already-productive spectrum work.
