Subject: FCC Takes The Lead On Satellite/Mobile Convergence In The
Single Network Future Proceeding
by Douglas Svor and Emily Dalessio
Last week, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a
new regulatory framework to address the growing convergence of
satellite and terrestrial-based networks, titled the "Single Network
Future: Supplementary Coverage from Space" proceeding.
The FCC proceeding is just the latest development in a seemingly
endless news cycle of high-profile announcements showcasing new
satellite and mobile partnerships across the 5G ecosystem. These
exciting developments range from Apple's announcement that the
Emergency SOS texting feature on iPhone 14 would be provided by
Globalstar's satellites, to the partnerships between OneWeb/AT&T and
SpaceX/T-Mobile to extend terrestrial network coverage, to the
longstanding plans of satellite operators like Lynk, AST SpaceMobile,
and Omnispace to provide direct to handset connectivity from space.

Subject: FCC Significantly Expands Robocall Obligations For Broad
Universe Of Providers
by Kevin G. Rupy , Kathleen E. Scott , Stephen Conley and Kelly Laughlin
At its March 16, 2023 Open Meeting, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or Commission) adopted a Sixth Report and Order and
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Order and FNPRM, respectively),
which significantly expands robocall regulatory obligations on all
providers, including intermediate providers and providers that have
fully deployed the STIR/SHAKEN call authentication standard. The Order
also establishes new enforcement frameworks, including additional
penalties for noncompliance and an expedited removal procedure for
facially deficient Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) filings. The
FNPRM seeks targeted comments relating to the deployment of the
STIR/SHAKEN call authentication standard. With the Commission's
adoption of the Order, several new obligations and filing deadlines
for providers throughout the voice ecosystem will become effective in
the weeks and months ahead.

I find it unlikely that MVNO's will take a substantial chunk of the big
3's customers. Either way, the big 3 are being paid for the bandwidth
that the MVNO's are using, and they could just as easily up their rates
if they become a threat, since the MVNO's don't have their own equipment.
