When the U.S. Federal Communications Commission issued a public notice July 19 asking for more input on how to repurpose C-band spectrum, it took the industry by surprise.Satellite operators were under the impression that the FCC would announce a decision this summer about the spectrum, deemed vital for rolling out high-speed 5G cellular services. The request for more input means the spectmm debate will continue at least a little longer. The FCC is now expected to reach a verdict this fall.The main reason for the FCC's extended review is the late introduction of a new spectrum proposal in July from AC A Connects, a trade association of 700 small and mid-size communications providers that has joined forces with the Competitive Carriers Association and the second largest U.S. cable company, Charter Communications, to shape the debate. Before the ACA Connects plan, the two competing proposals came from the C-Band Alliance - Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat and Telesat - and cellular network operator T-Mobile.
