SpaceX Accuses T-Mobile of Blocking Satellite Services at FCC
Original: SpaceX to FCC: T-Mobile Is Just an Incumbent Out to Stifle Satellite Services
SpaceX has filed comments with the US Federal Communications Commission arguing that T-Mobile is acting as an incumbent trying to stifle competing satellite services. The filing escalates a regulatory dispute between the two partners-turned-rivals over spectrum and direct-to-cell satellite rules. The clash comes as both companies push to offer phone connectivity from space, making the FCC's decisions on spectrum access increasingly consequential for the industry.
Why now: SpaceX and T-Mobile, once partners on direct-to-cell service, are now publicly clashing before US regulators over satellite spectrum policy.
