    Last week, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a
    new regulatory framework to address the growing convergence of
    satellite and terrestrial-based networks, titled the "Single Network
    Future: Supplementary Coverage from Space" proceeding.

    The FCC proceeding is just the latest development in a seemingly
    endless news cycle of high-profile announcements showcasing new
    satellite and mobile partnerships across the 5G ecosystem. These
    exciting developments range from Apple's announcement that the
    Emergency SOS texting feature on iPhone 14 would be provided by
    Globalstar's satellites, to the partnerships between OneWeb/AT&T and SpaceX/T-Mobile to extend terrestrial network coverage, to the
    longstanding plans of satellite operators like Lynk, AST SpaceMobile,
    and Omnispace to provide direct to handset connectivity from space.
