AT&T warns T-Mobile US, Starlink may disrupt terrestrial cellphones
The race to deliver mobile phone services via satellite may have turned nasty, with AT&T filing a petition with the US Federal Communications Commission to block rival T-Mobile US from operating its planned service in partnership with satellite company Starlink.[PDF] dated May 18 saying it was vital that so-called supplemental coverage from space services are not allowed to interfere with existing terrestrial wireless services.
“Americans rely on wireless connectivity to access telehealth platforms, educational resources, important government services, and more,” the filing states. “In evaluating potential SCS deployments, the Commission must prioritize protecting these foundational terrestrial networks,” the company insists.
Specifically, AT&T contends that the FCC’s rules do not permit SpaceX’s proposed use of T-Mobile’s broadband PCS G Block spectrum and this would require waiver of the US Table of Frequency Allocations , Part 24 technical and operational rules, and the Commission’s own leasing rules. The FCC should reject SpaceX’s request to simply take it at its word that it will not cause interference to other services, AT&T asserts.
