Amazon Kuiper FCC spectral priority demotion condition
As the brief logged it
— FCC waived Amazon's July 30, 2026 half-constellation (1,618 satellites) milestone deadline but imposed a condition: satellites launched after the milestone receive downgraded interference protection rights until the pace requirement is met. Constellation currently at ~367 production satellites vs. 1,618 required by July 30. This signals structural buildout stress at Kuiper and weakens its interference protection in spectrum disputes through 2026-2027. Primary regulatory signal (FCC action) though exact date of FCC order not confirmed.
