The collaboration between T-Mobile and SpaceX was announced in August of last year. The partnership aims to provide T-Mobile subscribers with coverage even in the most remote locations by leveraging the capabilities of Starlink’s second-generation satellites. Testing for this service is slated to begin later this year. In response to the FCC’s call for comments on T-Mobile and SpaceX’s request for SCS establishment, AT&T filed its concerns with the regulatory body.
AT&T’s filing argued that the technical showings presented by SpaceX and T-Mobile regarding the risk of harmful interference from their planned SCS deployments were insufficient. The telecommunications company asserted that the current state of the applications falls short of meeting the threshold for waiver and therefore cannot be granted without significant changes.
