Chairman Wheeler Remarks at Satellite Leadership Dinner

The pace of innovation is accelerating, and with new technological advances, satellites now have the opportunity to play a much more important role in bringing broadband to underserved and unserved areas around the world. To be the answer to the world’s tough connectivity challenges, the satellite industry faces significant challenges, one of which is regulation. Adapting regulations to ensure they don’t stifle new technologies is crucial. It’s more important than ever that we at the Federal Communications Commission get regulation right. Both to ensure that satellites meet their full potential to provide the many essential services they have historically provided, as well as their new promise of expanding broadband connectivity, and to ensure that spectrum is used in the most efficient way possible.
