Notice Of Exparte by Space Exploration Holdings, LLC in 25-305
SpaceX submitted an ex parte notice to the Federal Communications Commission on November 9, 2026, urging the swift elimination of harmful satellite earth station siting restrictions in Ka-band and V-band. The company argues that these restrictions in Section 25.136 of the Commission's rules threaten broadband and direct-to-device services for millions of Americans. On November 5, 2026, SpaceX representatives met with officials from the Space Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau to discuss these harms and advocate for a proposed light licensing framework. The submission includes a list of participants from both government bureaus and SpaceX who attended the meeting.
