WASHINGTON, August 13, 2024 – Satellite provider SpaceX on Friday filed a petition asking the Federal Communications Commission to revise rules to allow a more efficient use of shared spectrum resources among U.S.-licensed satellite systems.

The International Telecommunications Union, a United Nation specialized agency, has implemented regulations for spectrum sharing that, according to SpaceX, have imposed strict limits on the interference from non-geostationary systems into geostationary satellites.
