  • 2021-04028 — Updates Concerning Non-Geostationary, Fixed-Satellite Service Systems and Related Matters
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11642
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has implemented a new rule that removes the requirement for non-geostationary-satellite orbit, fixed-satellite service (NGSO FSS) systems to provide continuous coverage across the entire United States. This change is intended to offer more flexibility and encourage the development of innovative satellite systems. The decision aims to allow satellite operators to focus on serving underserved areas, such as Alaska and remote islands, without mandating nationwide coverage. The FCC believes this elimination of the domestic coverage rule will enhance connectivity and promote efficient use of satellite technology.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made a new rule that lets some special satellites focus on helping places that really need it, like certain parts of Alaska, instead of having to cover the whole country. This change is meant to help make sure more people get connected, even if they live far away from big cities.

    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering a rule change proposed by NYSE Arca, Inc. to amend Rule 7.31-E and introduce something called the Selective Midpoint Order. The proposed change was announced on December 30, 2024, and the SEC received comments from the public. Normally, the SEC is supposed to decide within 45 days—by February 13, 2025—but they extended the deadline to March 30, 2025, to have more time to review everything. This extension means the SEC can choose to approve, disapprove, or continue investigating the proposal.

    Simple Explanation

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is thinking about letting NYSE Arca, Inc. make a new kind of trade option, like adding a new way to share your toys at school. They need more time to decide because they want to carefully check everything and hear what others think before giving their answer.
