OneWeb Continues Campaign Against Band Segmentation

Committee, and GSMA Spectrum Head Brett Tarnutzer also attended. OneWeb said it also told the bureau that use of the 12.2-12.7 GHz band on a protected basis is vital for the company and terrestrial broadband can't employ that band. OneWeb indicated satellite operators can work with terrestrial interests on flexible and efficient use of the 28 GHz band, but current rules might create earth station siting difficulties. In a separate filing, OneWeb defended as an alternative to band splitting its proposed global public notice rule: that the FCC fall back on filing date priority for deciding how two systems can be protected during stage 2 coordination once the coordination trigger is surpassed and the sides can't reach coordination agreement. It said similar ITU coordination policies guide non-geostationary orbit fixed satellite systems outside the U.S. On concerns that parties with higher ITU coordination priority lack incentive to coordinate with lower-priority systems, it said FCC rules require coordination in good faith, and the current satellite economy shows investors are interested in systems even without ITU priority.
