FCC Accepts SpaceX Bid for 800 MHz Spectrum, Advancing Starlink Mobile Plans

The FCC has accepted SpaceX's application to acquire Grain Management's 800 MHz spectrum, opening a public review period that moves Starlink Mobile closer to becoming a full U.S. wireless carrier. The deal covers 546 licenses reaching roughly 100% of the U.S. population, though acceptance is not approval and use of the spectrum from orbit remains pending.
