From Command and Control to Flexible Use: Bringing Satellite Regulations into the 21st Century Speaker: David Goldman, Vice President of Satellite Policy, SpaceX Abstract: Terrestrial spectrum policy went through an evolution thirty years ago as regulators around the world learned the follies of command-and-control regimes and the relative benefits of more flexible-use authorizations. The result of this evolution in regulation was a revolution in technical advances. Within a few years of these regulatory changes, spectrum license holders deployed massive wireless networks to serve population centers around the globe. These waves of technological innovation on the ground are only now cresting, just as a new revolution is taking place in space to connect those still left unserved. Satellite operators are deploying next-generation systems with the power to bring urban-quality broadband to the third of the world that has been left behind. Unfortunately, these deployments are being slowed because satellite policy has not had the same regulatory upgrades that enabled generations of wireless networks. Admittedly, satellites use spectrum very differently than terrestrial networks, and not all terrestrial policies are appropriate (e.g., auctioning shared spectrum for global networks is extremely challenging). But there is still an opportunity to break free of the decades-old command-and-control regimes and leverage what has been learned about the benefits of flexible-use licensing. This talk will explore regulatory models such as light licensing, sunsetting incumbent protections, upgrading international spectrum harmonization, and standard rules to mitigate orbital debris that could be used to help drive innovation in satellite technology.
