FCC's NEW FILING FEES GO INTO EFFECT.
All FCC filings submitted after April 19, 2022 fall under the new fee schedule. Many changes - some increases, some decreases and fees for filings not required before!
FCC to implement new fee structure in the fourth quarter of 2022?
This will be the first change since 2018. The agency is suggesting a new approach to fees. In lieu of having different fees per radio service, the proposal is to have a specific fee per service (new, renewal, modification, assignment, STA, etc.) per radio Bureaus. Specifically, license applications for the the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will have a set fee for Applications for New, Renewal and Major modifications regardless if the service is for land mobile, aviation, microwave or marine services.
FCC issues NPRM (FCC 21-123) proposing rule changes effecting the Low-Earth Orbit Satellite.
The Commissioners unanimously agreed in issuing a Notice of Proposed Rule Making which will be designed to assist in the licensing standards and requirements for the operations of Low-Earth Orbit Satellite. The proposed revisions to its current rules for spectrum sharing among non-geostationary satellite orbit, fixed-satellite service (NGSO FSS) systems. The proposed revisions would seek to facilitate the deployment of the new generation of Low-Earth Orbit Satellite systems, including new competitors. The new generation low-Earth orbit satellite systems can provide broadband services with dramatically higher speeds and lower latency than previous satellite broadband offerings.
