FCC chairman to satellite industry: Shut Up

摘要

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission's July 14 Spectrum Frontiers decision to make spectrum above 24 gigahertz available to future 5G terrestrial networks will be a subject of debate for years as 5G's exact contours become visible. It is only to be expected that this latest battle over radio frequency be the subject of differing opinions between terrestrial and satellite networks. Unlike the ongoing debate about terrestrial use of C-band spectrum, where many satellite networks are in service, the 24-GHz spectrum has not been universally viewed as a safe haven for satellites.
