Outdated rules, new space race: modernising LEO spectrum policy (CSIS)
An 11-minute CSIS video (August 2025) in which Matt Pearl (CSIS) and Karina Perez (CCIA) argue that decades-old spectrum rules, notably the power limits shared between LEO and GEO systems, slow US LEO innovation, and explain what modernising them would mean for capacity and competition.
Starlink Network Update: SpaceX's official performance figures
SpaceX's own network report: ~200 Mbps median peak-hour download and 25.7 ms median latency in the US (mid-2025), 450 Tbps of cumulative capacity, 6 million+ customers, 7,800+ satellites, 100+ US gateway sites, and the third-generation satellite targets. The numbers to quote, and how to read them.

Episode 614 of TeleGeography's podcast (68 minutes, June 2025): host Greg Bryan interviews FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington on spectrum allocation and broadband expansion, recorded the week he left the Commission. The clearest hour on how US spectrum decisions get made, which is where every satellite operator's capacity starts.
Starlink for Business: how to pick the right plan and dish (Nextiva)
A four-minute explainer from Nextiva (March 2025) on what a business buyer must know before ordering Starlink: how the service plans differ, which hardware fits which site, and when Starlink is the right fit for a company that fibre and cable do not reach.

Project Kuiper (now Amazon Leo): Amazon's 2021 case for satellite broadband
Amazon's own 8-minute film (December 2021, 171,000 views) on why it is building a LEO constellation: residents and small businesses in Cle Elum, Washington, describe life without broadband, and the Project Kuiper team explains the plan. Five years on, Kuiper is Amazon Leo, with 398 satellites launched and an enterprise beta.
The FCC Spectrum Dashboard: who holds which frequencies (FCC video)
The FCC's own 2-minute introduction (2010, public domain) to its Spectrum Dashboard, the public tool that shows how bands between 225 MHz and 3.7 GHz are allocated, what they are used for and who holds licences where. Old, but the tool and the questions it answers are still current for anyone tracking direct-to-cell and mid-band spectrum.
