Blocks certain companies from getting U.S. licenses for satellite systems and ground stations.
The Secure Space Act of 2025 would stop the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from giving out licenses for satellite systems and ground stations to companies linked to certain communications equipment or service providers. This means some businesses would be blocked from operating these crucial parts of our communication networks in the U.S., changing who can offer these services.
Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can grant licenses for satellite systems and ground stations to various companies. This includes those that produce or provide "covered communications equipment or service" or their affiliates. If this bill becomes law, the FCC would be prohibited from granting such licenses or market access to those specific companies or their affiliates. This means a new barrier would be in place for certain entities seeking to operate satellite communication infrastructure in the U.S.
