Nice to see Echostar push back on the FCC's "arbitrary and capricious" decision to grant the SpaceX request for a waiver of the OOBE limit. $ASTS 🥊
www.fcc.gov/ecfs/documen...
Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Space Bureau and Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Seek Comment on Filings of SpaceX and T-Mobile Requesting to Establish Supplemental Coverage from Space Application for Authority for Modification of the SpaceX NGSO Satellite System to Add a Direct to Cellular System ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) GN Docket No. 23-135; ICFS File Nos. SAT- MOD-20230207-00021, SAT-AMD-20240322- 00061 Call Sign S3069 ECHOSTAR CORPORATION’S APPLICATION FOR REVIEW EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) respectfully seeks Commission review of the Space Bureau’s decision to grant SpaceX’s waiver of the aggregate out-of-band interference limits for supplemental coverage from space (“SCS”).1 Instead of finding that harmful interference would be unlikely at the higher power levels proposed by SpaceX, the Bureau failed to make any decision about the likelihood of harmful interference, granted the waiver, and put the burden on EchoStar to protect itself. That decision was not reasoned, because the Bureau failed to show that the Commission’s concerns underlying Section 25.202(k)(1) had changed, been eliminated, or rendered unlikely. It was also erroneous because the plain text of the Communications Act vests the Commission with the responsibility to “prevent interference” before it happens.2 Addressing interference after it already happens does not meet that mark. 2 burden to the Commission, not EchoStar. Given all this, the waiver grant could not have plausibly served the public interest. The Commission should reverse the Bureau. QUESTION PRESENTED In March 2024, the Commission adopted the SCS Order, which, among other things, set an aggregate out-of-band of band interference limit for supplemental coverage from space services.3 The Commission described that limit as “necessary” to protect wireless operators from harmful interference, and proponents of weaker limits provided “no evidence” supporting their claims.4 Despite that, less than a year later, the Space Bureau adopted the Waiver Order, waiving this limit for SpaceX without deciding that harmful interference would be unlikely.5 Did this decision improperly conflict with the SCS Order, Section 303(f) of the Communications Act, and the good cause standard for waivers in Section 1.3 of the Commission’s rules?6 BACKGROUND The SCS Order crafted a regulatory framework for SCS service, including licensing and service rules to prevent harmful interference. One of those rules is Section 25.202(k)(1), setting the aggregate out-of-band interference limit for the service at -120 dBW/m2/MHz.7 The 8 agency by the statute.”35 The Communications Act tasks the Commission with making “such regulations not inconsistent with law as it may deem necessary to prevent interference between stations[.]”36 The Commission’s SCS Order did that for SCS by adopting the aggregate out-of- band interference limit in Section 25.202(k)(1) that was “necessary” to protect adjacent-band wireless networks from harmful interference.37 Despite the Commission’s prior finding that out-of-band interference concerns warrant a rule limiting aggregate emissions, the Bureau waived Section 25.202(k)(1) as requested by SpaceX.38 In doing so, the Bureau failed to determine that the harmful interference concerns described in the SCS Order that led to the adoption of Section 25.202(k)(1) had been eliminated. Instead, all the Bureau said was that “SpaceX has provided engineering analyses in support of its claim that harmful interference in adjacent bands is unlikely” and that “T-Mobile, an adjacent band terrestrial operator . . . presents its own technical analyses in which it concludes that the waiver poses a low likelihood of harmful interference.”39 That is as far as it went. The Bureau never endorsed the conclusions of either analysis, nor did it reject the technical claims of AT&T, Verizon, and EchoStar raised in the records for both the SCS Order and the Waiver Order. AT&T demonstrated that it would suffer a devastating 18% reduction in throughput.40 But the Waiver Order allowed SpaceX to operate at higher power levels regardless. This failure to rule 9 out harmful interference conflicts with the SCS Order’s technical reasons for adopting Section 25.202(k)(1). The Bureau tried to cover this hole in its decisionmaking by conditioning SpaceX’s authorization on a requirement to not cause harmful interference and to address any complaints of harmful interference from adjacent band users.41 But this condition contravenes the Communications Act’s mandate to make rules that “prevent interference between stations[.]”42 As the Supreme Court has held, the word “prevent” means “to render (an intended, possible, or likely action or event) impractical or impossible by anticipatory action.”43 In other words, “prevent” means to stop something before it happens. Accordingly, the Commission’s statutory responsibility is to make rules that stop harmful interference at its inception, just like Section 25.202(k)(1) is supposed to do. But unlike an aggregate power limit, the condition in the Waiver Order allows SpaceX and T-Mobile to interfere with adjacent band users like EchoStar up until EchoStar detects and reports the interference. Because this non-anticipatory measure only kicks in after EchoStar suffers from harmful interference, it does not satisfy the prevention required by the plain text of the Communications Act. In any event, the Bureau knows that it is immensely difficult for carriers to detect a particular source of interference. In reality, the condition forces EchoStar to take up this burden just to keep its basic rights as a licensee. Yet Congress placed the burden to prevent harmful interference on the Commission and those causing it, not the victim operators.44

Important content from "expert network" interview with a former SpaceX Direct to Cell Manager. $ASTS 💰
Another Expert Network excerpt from former senior Starlink Direct-to-Cell manager. 1) This passage highlights T-Mobile's short-term focus of wanting to be associated with something cool without assessing long-term strategic impact or even asking the most important question - does the tech even work? 2) Also confirms that at the time of the August 2022 announcement, Starlink Direct-to-Cell was pretty much a vaporware response to get ahead of the Apple/Globalstar announcement.🤷‍♂️ FORMER SENIOR STARLINK DIRECT-TO-CELL MANAGER: "There's different reasons why telcos sign up for a service like this. T-Mobile is a very, very unique case. The genesis of all this, if you remember, was Apple was due to announce their satellite service. Elon called together a quick press conference, got everybody on stage and announced that T-Mobile and Starlink would do the same. Now, there was some efforts internally to bring this to market, but really the fire that accelerated all this was the Apple announcement. T-Mobile, very, very historically, tends to be a huge marketing machine. What they're looking to do and what their financials have shown is that they're very good at adding subscribers. Now traditionally, that would be through having free HBO or Apple TV+. This is yet another thing that they offer to try and attract customers. Their view on this tends to be more on what is the customer acquisition story? What does it cost us to do that? What is the cost of churn as people leave? What can we do to have people in the highest ARPU bucket? The other thing to note is they're very much tying it down to particular kinds of devices. A lot of the U.S. telcos tend to make money also through device financing. Forcing an upgrade cycle in a market where upgrade cycles have been pretty slow is a good incentive for them as well. A partnership like T-Mobile, for example, isn't as worried about the number of messages or the amount of data. It's more, what is the brand value of somebody lik…
