The proposed auction aims to support direct-to-device satellite services and eliminate cell dead zones. Major satellite operators, including Amazon and SpaceX, are expected to vie for the radio frequencies as they expand smartphone connectivity networks via satellite. The initiative follows the recent approval of a Starlink Mobile upgrade and forms part of a broader push to unlock mid-band spectrum and enhance satellite-based communication capabilities across the industry.Why it mattersSatellit
