ICYMI: Congresswoman @RepAnnaEshoo penned a powerful letter to the @FCCcommissioners urging them to move forward on the #12GHz issue. Read the full text of the letter: https://t.co/OFYO2TLbuz

[Rep. Doris Matsui @DorisMatsui]

I’m glad the @FCC & @JRosenworcelFCC are announcing plans to make more efficient use of the 12GHz band.

As Subcommittee Ranking Member, I pressed the FCC on this issue earlier this year. Now they’re taking a first step toward faster broadband speeds for consumers & businesses.

A new FCC proposal would prevent mobile operations in the 12.2-12.7GHz band. However, the agency would 'propose further investigation of expanded terrestrial fixed use' in the band. https://t.co/m5fAlvKfWV

Today, Chairwoman @JRosenworcelFCC released a note with the tentative agenda for the May Open Meeting. Read the note: https://t.co/V87t1FtmTg

"America is facing stiff competition in the arena of spectrum availability and technological innovation, and the #12GHz band represents 1 area where we have an easily achievable win-win for American industry and consumers" Read @ChipPickering's blog here: https://t.co/im4ewPo3vO

[CTIA @CTIA]

More licensed mid-band spectrum is key for the United States to continue to lead and grow the #5GEconomy or risk ceding leadership to other countries, according to @BCG report. Read more: https://t.co/nAyt6VwpAP.

"The 12.2-12.7 band is uniquely situated, its lack of federal incumbents makes it simple to unleash for additional use, and its propagation characteristics have been described as the goldilocks of spectrum" - @5Gfor12GHz Co-Chair @ChipPickering, read more: https://t.co/GPaemqgi83

“As NTIA and the FCC work to identify more mid-band spectrum resources to accelerate the deployment of next-generation services, the 12 GHz Band represents an immediate opportunity to add 500 megahertz of ideal spectrum to the spectrum pipeline" Read: https://t.co/XVj8WNlozE

@ESGhound @starlinkinsider If the majority of broadband revenue continue to come from North America (as is the case today), then any LEO system is going to have major challenges in justifying a high valuation.

[Doug Madory (also on Bluesky) @DougMadory]

In the early hours of Apr 8, LEO satellite service Starlink suffered a global outage.

According to @kentikinc aggregate NetFlow, traffic to Starlink went to zero and most (but not all) BGP routes were withdrawn for a more than 20min.

“We risk falling behind our counterparts by failing to replenish the commercial spectrum pipeline.” - U.S. Representative Frank Pallone. 12 GHz is the easiest, most effective spectrum band we can unleash today. Read more of @telecompetitor's article here: https://t.co/ggm8mwjhDL

Stock offering still on schedule I see, I wonder if they told the Saudis about the rumored plan to make the Q1 numbers... https://t.co/zucIPDLTXF

[Tim Farrar @TMFAssociates]

Elon's come up with a temporary solution to make the numbers, selling as many as 100K terminals to a friendly Silicon Valley billionaire who wants to keep the next stock offering on schedule for April (3/3)

No use of lower 12GHz spectrum in this system @5Gfor12GHz

Amazon plans to start launching its first service-ready internet satellites to space in the first half of 2024 and offer initial commercial tests shortly after, the company said Tuesday. https://t.co/lcrHQjCcXe

. #Amazon unveils its satellite-delivered home internet antenna. Costs $400 to make, 400 Mbps capacity, says it's half the cost of what others cost to make. #SATshow @Comm_Daily I love the bird.

Opening up #12GHz spectrum is a "win-win" for the American people. Hear some expert opinions on the amazing potential for #12GHz below.

[5Gfor12GHz @5Gfor12GHz]

The #FCC is crucial for opening more connectivity to communities across America. We need to utilize the valuable resources that we have at our disposal, open the #12GHz band, and make 5G connectivity cheaper, faster, and more reliable for everyone

@haroldfeld @publicknowledge @katmburke @FCC Heavy.

Right on @5Gfor12GHz

[CTIA @CTIA]

New report from Analysys Mason shows the U.S. must expand its #5G spectrum pipeline in order to keep pace with other countries that are moving rapidly to make licensed mid-band spectrum available for 5G networks. More: https://t.co/DEqAlbMb5c
