New innovations in space technology, such as low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, can directly improve the lives of millions. There is no path to universal broadband access without deploying a wide range of connectivity options that include LEO satellite broadband. We need policymakers to continue updating space policy and modernizing regulations so we can finally bridge the digital divide and deploy other exciting advances in space.
A stubborn “digital divide” separates individuals, families and communities that can readily access 21st century communications technology from those that cannot. LEO satellites have the potential to play a pivotal role in helping to close the digital divide by providing a new, reliable and cost-effective broadband option to previously underserved or unserved communities around the world.
Policymakers must keep building on recent momentum and clear outdated barriers that are hampering space innovation and the deployment of LEO satellites. Continuing to take a position of leadership in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), positioning the U.S. to influence and shape global space rules rather than being forced to play by the rules of our competitors.
