CCIA’s Space & Spectrum Policy Center was created to promote sensible policies to encourage new deployment and competition in satellite broadband.
The United States, as the leading nation in satellite launches, has fostered a strong space economy and recognized the future of space-based broadband with the establishment of the FCC’s Space Bureau in 2023.
Satellite constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) can enable global broadband access, driving economic development in underserved areas.
