AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Push Back on FCC Satellite-to-Phone Rule Changes
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have joined wireless industry group CTIA in challenging parts of a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposal to expand satellite-to-phone services, as SpaceX pursues access to 80,000 US cell towers for Starlink Mobile. The companies raised concerns about interference, carrier control and the use of existing 5G frequencies. According to an official CTIA filing dated October 22, representatives met separately with advisers to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and Commissioners Anna Gomez and Olivia Trusty on October 20. The group urged regulators to revise several provisions before moving forward. The discussions follow the FCC’s October 8 draft proposal to expand Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS), which allows satellites to connect directly with ordinary phones using mobile carriers’ licensed frequencies. The proposal would open another 482 megahertz of spectrum, increasing the number of eligible bands from five to 13. CTIA specifically requested the removal of Time-Division Duplex (TDD) frequencies, including the 2.5 GHz and 3.45 GHz bands. The group argued these frequencies are technically unsuitable for satellite service and currently support wireless connectivity for more than 300 million users. At the same time, CTIA opposed replacing existing spectrum leasing requirements with agreements allowing satellite and terrestrial operators to share frequencies. It asked the FCC to preserve carrier consent, control and termination rights, while maintaining access to regulatory enforcement. Despite those objections, CTIA acknowledged that satellite connectivity could extend coverage into remote communities and areas affected by disasters. SpaceX has not publicly responded to the filing. The draft is scheduled for consideration at the FCC’s October 29 open meeting. The letters comes just days after the FCC approved SpaceX’s acquisition of Tristar’s AWS-3 spectrum, a move that would allow Starlink Mobile to challenge the major carriers in the U.S. Related Articles:

Global Affairs Canada addresses Tesla Model 3 order pause as 33,000 import spots remain available: Exclusive
Global Affairs Canada has responded to questions surrounding Tesla’s exhausted Model 3 import allocation, but stopped short of explaining why the automaker has paused orders in Canada despite more than 33,000 Chinese EV import spots remaining available. In an exclusive statement, the department confirmed with Drive Tesla it is consulting with automakers on how to distribute the remaining quota, but would not say whether Tesla is subject to a company-specific limit. Global Affairs Canada responds On Monday Tesla stopped accepting new orders for the Model 3 Premium in Canada, both the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants, telling customers it has exhausted its allocation under Canada’s Chinese electric vehicle import quota. Drive Tesla reached out to Global Affairs Canada to clarify whether the government has introduced limits on how many vehicles individual automakers can import. Spokesperson Rachael Dolan confirmed the department is reviewing how the remaining quota is distributed. “Global Affairs Canada is consulting with interested companies to optimize remaining quota availability and evaluate the quota’s implementation to inform a longer-term policy designed to catalyze new joint-venture investment on Canadian soil, with Canadian supply chains, and Canadian workers.” However, Dolan did not confirm or deny whether Tesla is subject to a company-specific limit. “While we can provide information on overall volumes, we do not disclose the names of companies or details of any shipments, including anticipated quota use, due to commercial confidentiality considerations.” More than 33,000 import spots remain available Tesla’s decision to stop accepting orders comes despite Canada’s October 9 Export and Import Controls System (EICS) report showing 33,069 of 33,397 quota spots remain available. During the first six-month window, from March to August 2026, just 15,603 of the 24,500 available spots were claimed, with Tesla accounting for the majority. Under the government’s Notice to Importers 1168, import permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, with no publicly announced per-automaker cap. However, section 3.4.6 allows Global Affairs Canada to reserve portions of the quota to ensure equitable access, including for original equipment manufacturers. No such set-aside has been publicly announced. When will Model 3 orders resume in Canada? The uncertainty comes as Tesla’s Shanghai-built […]
