WASHINGTON, 02 December 2022, (TON): The US Federal Communications Commission said “it approved SpaceX’s bid to deploy up to 7,500 satellites, but put on hold some other decisions.”
SpaceX’s Starlink, a fast-growing network of more than 3,500 satellites in low-Earth orbit, has tens of thousands of users in the United States so far, with consumers paying at least $599 for a user terminal and $110 a month for service.
The FCC in 2018 approved SpaceX plans to deploy up to 4,425 first-generation satellites.
The FCC said “its decision will protect other satellite and terrestrial operators from harmful interference and maintain a safe space environment and protect spectrum and orbital resources for future use.”
