联邦通信委员会受理SpaceX子公司收购546张800兆赫频谱牌照申请：覆盖全美、12月1日前接受公众意见
美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）无线电信局11月10日发布公共通告，宣布受理SpaceX全资子公司Starlink Spectrum Holdings收购Grain Management旗下两家持牌公司控制权的申请。这笔交易涉及546张800兆赫频谱牌照，覆盖全美50个州，受理只是审查程序的第一步，并不等于批准。
通告编号为DA 26-1218，案号WT Docket No. 26-313。申请于10月9日提交（ULS档案号0012212612与0012212635），拟转让控制权的标的为Prism License Co. 1与Prism License Co. 2持有的546张成对牌照，频段为817至824兆赫与862至869兆赫，最多14兆赫带宽，分布于173个经济区、3,224个县，涵盖全部50个州、华盛顿特区、波多黎各与美属维尔京群岛，约覆盖全美100%的人口。
程序时间表已经排定：公众可在12月1日前提交反对请愿或意见，相关方在12月8日前提交异议，12月15日前提交回复。FCC在通告中说明，受理登记不代表批准，如发现申请存在实质缺陷仍可退回；Grain当年从T-Mobile购入这批牌照时附带的交易条件，将延续适用于受让方。
这批频谱是Grain此前从T-Mobile购入的资产。交易金额双方均未公布，据彭博社与《华尔街日报》报道约为80亿美元；Grain当初的购入价约为29亿美元现金加一批600兆赫牌照。
除地面移动网络用途外，SpaceX已于10月27日另行向FCC申请，拟用这批频率提供卫星补充覆盖（卫星直连手机）服务，并申请相关规则豁免，该申请仍在审查中。SpaceX的移动通信业务正以Starlink Mobile为品牌推进。
FCC Accepts for Filing SpaceX Unit's Bid for 546 800 MHz Licenses Covering All 50 States; Public Comments Due December 1
The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a public notice on November 10 accepting for filing an application by Starlink Spectrum Holdings, a wholly owned SpaceX subsidiary, to acquire control of two license-holding companies owned by Grain Management. The deal covers 546 licenses in the 800 MHz band spanning all 50 states; acceptance for filing is only the first procedural step and does not constitute approval.
The notice, DA 26-1218, was assigned WT Docket No. 26-313. The applications were filed on October 9 (ULS File Nos. 0012212612 and 0012212635). The transfer covers 546 paired licenses held by Prism License Co. 1 LLC and Prism License Co. 2 LLC in the 817-824 MHz and 862-869 MHz bands, up to 14 MHz of spectrum across 173 Economic Areas and 3,224 counties, covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or roughly 100 percent of the U.S. population.
The comment cycle is set: petitions to deny and comments are due December 1, oppositions December 8, and replies December 15. The FCC stressed that acceptance for filing does not mean the transfer will be granted, and that substantially defective applications may be returned; conditions attached to Grain's earlier purchase of the portfolio from T-Mobile will carry over to the buyer.
The spectrum is the portfolio Grain previously acquired from T-Mobile. Neither company disclosed the price; Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal have reported a figure of about $8 billion. Grain originally paid about $2.9 billion in cash plus a package of 600 MHz licenses.
Beyond terrestrial mobile use, SpaceX separately asked the FCC on October 27 for authority to use the frequencies for supplemental coverage from space, its satellite-to-cellphone service, along with related waivers; that request remains under review. SpaceX is building its mobile offering under the Starlink Mobile brand.
