India rejects Starlink discrimination claim
India's Ministry of Communications has rejected Elon Musk's claim that Starlink is being unfairly blocked from launching in the country. The ministry stated that its regulatory framework for satellite communications is "fair and non-discriminatory" and that Starlink and two other licensed satellite operators are at "broadly the same regulatory stage." All three companies are undergoing security assessments before they can seek spectrum. Musk had accused unnamed "oligarchs" of blocking Starlink's launch to maintain a "monopolistic chokehold," without providing evidence. Starlink has spent over five years trying to enter India, securing regulatory approvals and partnerships with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, but has yet to launch commercial services. The company has invested in infrastructure and adapted to local requirements, but the timing of its launch remains unclear.
Higher Rates Split Market; AI Stocks Have Advantage: Cramer
Jim Cramer says that rising borrowing costs are splitting the stock market into two camps: credit-sensitive sectors facing pressure and AI-related firms that remain largely insulated. He highlights strong demand for AI growth, citing SpaceX's potential $40 billion borrowing to buy Nvidia chips for data centers, which he expects to get attractive terms despite its BBB rating. In contrast, Skydance's bonds fell after its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, reflecting challenges in traditional media. Cramer argues that AI data center stocks are less affected by Treasury yields because their future growth prospects are considered extremely bright.
FCC to auction 25MHz of 'prime spectrum' for direct-to-device
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote on a proposal to auction 25 megahertz of 'prime spectrum' to support direct-to-device (D2D) services from satellites to smartphones. The agency will also consider an additional 482MHz of spectrum for supplemental coverage and modernized rules for D2D services, and eliminating an outdated restriction on drone operations in the 800 MHz Cellular band. The proposals could benefit SpaceX and Amazon, which have expanded their satellite D2D networks. Amazon recently requested approval to launch up to 5,105 internet satellites and announced its acquisition of Globalstar for over $11.5 billion. SpaceX also received approval for its direct-to-cell system using 15,000 satellites and spectrum purchased from EchoStar. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr framed the move as supporting American leadership in space and drone technologies.
