Since the early 1980s, the broadcast industry has relied on a fleet of C-band geostationary satellites to reliably deliver content for radio and television stations. In 2018, the FCC began a process that will transition 60% of the C-band bandwidth to the mobile broadband companies. It is critical for each broadcaster to understand the process and stay informed. This presentation will review the key entities in the FCC order, the timeline and milestones, qualified earth stations, transition planning, and next steps to prepare for the new shared environment.
