AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Fight FCC Satellite Spectrum Plan

AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are urging the FCC to drop the 2.5 GHz and 3.45 GHz bands from its satellite-to-phone proposal, citing interference with their 5G networks. The two bands account for 290 MHz of the 482 MHz proposed, and the FCC votes on October 29.

• Carriers want 2.5 GHz and 3.45 GHz removed — 290 MHz of 482 MHz
• T-Mobile says an overhead satellite could degrade its 5G
• FCC approved up to 15,000 SpaceX satellites for Starlink Mobile
• FCC vote on the SCS rules is set for October 29
