The Federal Communications Commission officially granted SpaceX's request to deploy and operate 15,000 Starlink satellites to provide direct-to-device connectivity. Together, the approval and the waiver open a regulatory path for SpaceX to compete directly with AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, a move SpaceX executives have already hinted at. The FCC approved most of the application despite objections from rival satellite operators and environmental groups, who raised concerns about radio interference and light pollution. It deferred a decision on SpaceX’s requests to use the 2020 to 2025MHz band in the US and the 1429 to 2690MHz range outside the US.
