In this note, we summarize the state activity and ISP bidding to date. We analyze what the state activi...
In a note last fall, we predicted that if Trump were elected, Elon Musk would be the most powerful force in telecom policy, elevating satellite priorities over the policy priorities of traditional communications networks. One of the issues we pointed to where that influence might be exercised involved potential SpaceX interference with T’s cellular network. This past Friday, that FCC addressed that issue, granting a conditional waiver to SpaceX regarding out-of-band emissions (OOBE) that will i...

A question we are often asked is how much the carriers charge MVNOs for wireless services. While working through EchoStar’s 10-K we noticed new reporting that seems to show the MVNO fee it paid in 2022 and 2023.
