The United States Federal Communications Commission will vote on October 29 to advance a new spectrum auction aimed at expanding direct-to-device satellite services. The initiative seeks to eliminate mobile dead zones by connecting standard smartphones directly to orbiting constellations. Upcoming spectrum sales over the next couple of years could generate more than $100 billion in proceeds, according to FCC Chair Brendan Carr.
