Overview

The regulatory landscape shows significant activity around broadband funding reforms, particularly NTIA's reconsideration of BEAD funds and CRTC's development of Indigenous broadband support. Technical interference concerns are emerging as NTIA examines GPS impacts from satellite direct-to-device services, which could affect deployment of next-generation satellite connectivity. Consumer protection remains a focus with accessibility improvements to relay services, affordability tracking, and online safety enforcement.
