#FCC blocks ban on #prison #phone price gouging, benefiting top Trump donors
The move suspends a 2024 FCC decision that capped the price of in-state phone calls at 6 cents minute for prisons and large #jails and 7 cents per minute for medium-sized jails. Before the decision, a 15-minute phone call could cost as much as $11.35 at large jails in some states. Under the 2024 rules, those same phone calls would cost 90 cents.

イーロン・マスクのスターリンク、半年で衛星472機が大気圏再突入
matatabi.com/2025/07/3440/, #FCC #matatabinews #SpaceX #Starlink
イーロン・マスクの衛星通信サービス、スターリンクがFCCに提出した報告書によると、昨年12月から5月の間に472の衛星が軌道から離脱し大気圏内に突入、燃失した。衛星個々が800キロ前後で、その50%がアルミニウムであると想定すると、毎日1トン程度のアルミが燃えていることになる。これは自然現象で推定されるアルミの量の3倍にあたる。(カナダ、レジーナ大学の天文学者、サマンサ・ローラー教授の投稿を参考)

The sale of #Paramount would end the Redstone family’s decades-long control of #CBS News & Paramount Pictures & put it in the hands of #DavidEllison, the son of #LarryEllison, a #tech #billionaire who has backed #Trump.

Brendan Carr, the chairman of the #FCC, has said that Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount was not linked to the FCC’s review of the company’s merger w/Skydance🙄. Paramount has also said that the 2 issues were unrelated🙄.

#Kagan writes: "Under our #nondelegation precedents, #Congress sufficiently guided & constrained the discretion that it lodged with the #FCC to implement the universal-service contribution scheme. And the FCC, in turn, has retained all decision-making authority within that sphere, relying on the ‘corporation’ only for nonbinding advice. Nothing in those arrangements, either separately or together, violates the Constitution."

The next opinion is #FCC v. Consumers' Research [anti-woke folk]

It is by Justice #Kagan, & the vote is 6-3 again. #Gorsuch dissents, joined by #ClarenceThomas & #Alito.

It holds that neither #Congress's delegation of #power to the FCC or the FCC's delegation of power to the private corporation violated a theory known as the #nondelegation doctrine.

"Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to auction anywhere from 600 to 800 megahertz of spectrum without specifying protections for scientific research, despite concerns from scientists who say access to certain bands allows unique observations in astronomy and atmospheric science."

My 2cents because that’s pretty much what it’s come down to:
1) While Pundits and politicos bite their cuticles over Musk; together with US #FCC Canada ISED Mexico IFT {NoKingNorthAmerica} hire Carlos Silim Helú to oversee #satelliteinternetservice
2) US #NASA #USEPA must form a coalition with #UN n respective regulatory agencies
of Japan, UK, Europe, Australia, South Africa space programs
3) #Dem leaders must don continental army hats and send #TrumpMuskNetanyahu to the #ICC in The Hague.

I hope that the 12 brave men and women aboard the sailing ship “Madleen” will be okay.

S2 THE DIVIDED DIAL EPISODE 4: Wall St. Wants Your Airwaves

"...In recent years, creative, often music-focused pirate broadcasting has been thriving on shortwave. But these surreptitious broadcasters are up against a surprising enemy: Not the FCC, but a deep-pocketed group of finance bros that is trying to wrestle the airwaves away from the public, and use them for a money-making scheme completely antithetical to broadcasting. What do we lose when we give up our public airwaves?..."

Elon Musk kontra Apple – konflikt o łączność satelitarną w iPhone’ach

Elon Musk, szef SpaceX, próbował przekonać Apple do współpracy przy usłudze satelitarnej dla iPhone’a 14, podaje The Information.

Oferował 18-miesięczną wyłączność za 5 miliardów dolarów i późniejsze opłaty roczne w wysokości miliarda dolarów. Gdy Apple odmówiło, SpaceX ogłosiło współpracę z T-Mobile, umożliwiającą wysyłanie SMS-ów przez satelitę w miejscach bez zasięgu.

SpaceX złożyło też skargi prawne przeciwko Globalstar, partnerowi Apple, zarzucając firmie m.in. niewykorzystanie przyznanego pasma częstotliwości. W dokumentach regulacyjnych SpaceX wymieniło również Apple, co wywołało irytację w Cupertino.

Spór zaostrzył się, gdy Musk naciskał, by Apple wspierało usługę T-Mobile także na starszych modelach iPhone’ów, co firma zignorowała. Konflikt o satelity dołączył do wcześniejszych napięć na linii Musk–Apple, m.in. o prowizje App Store. Musk miał rozważać stworzenie własnego smartfona z usługami Starlinka, by uniezależnić się od Apple.
