Why Satellite Spectrum Rights Are the New Oil
from Space Business with Fexingo: Launch Companies, Satellites, and Commercial Spaceflight · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the emerging market for satellite spectrum rights. They break down how companies like Ligado Networks and the recent FCC spectrum auctions have created a new asset class worth billions. The hosts discuss the concept of spectrum as a non-depletable but finite resource, the legal battles over interference, and how startups are speculating on unused frequencies. They use the specific example of the 12 GHz band conflict between SpaceX and Dish Network to illustrate the high-stakes negotiation over airwaves. Listeners learn why spectrum rights could become as valuable as oil reserves for the space economy. #SatelliteSpectrum #SpectrumRights #FCC #LigadoNetworks #DishNetwork #SpaceX #12GHzBand #Telecommunications #SpaceBusiness #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SpaceEconomy #SpectrumAuction #RadioFrequency #SatelliteBroadband #Regulation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
