Subject: SpaceX Launch Begins Startup's Plan for 'Cell Towers in
Space'
With a satellite lofted into low Earth orbit, Sateliot is joining the
race to build networks that hop across the heavens.
By Stephan Shankland
With a SpaceX rocket launch set for late Monday, a Spanish company
called Sateliot expects to take its first step toward giving you text
messaging abilities in remote parts of the world where conventional
mobile networks fail.
The 50-employee Barcelona-based startup is one of a growing number of
attempts to use satellites about 310 miles above our heads in low
Earth orbit to bring us closer to the promise of ubiquitous
connectivity. With Apple, Verizon, T-Mobile and Qualcomm all headed in
the same direction, it seems likely that, in the near future, stranded
motorists and injured hikers won't be so isolated.

Subject: The FCC cites a Gateway provider for carrying robocall
traffic
1. By this Initial Determination Order, the Enforcement Bureau
(Bureau) apparently finds that One Eye LLC (One Eye or Company) has
not complied with the Federal Communications Commission’s (Commission
or FCC) call blocking rules for gateway providers. Pursuant to section
64.1200(n)(5)(i)(A) of the Commission rules, One Eye has 14 days to
respond to this order (Initial Determination Order) with a final
response to our apparent finding and to demonstrate compliance with
our rules. If One Eye fails to respond to this Initial Determination
Order, thereby failing to provide an adequate response, or the Company
continues to transmit substantially similar unlawful traffic, the
Bureau will issue a Final Determination Order.1 Any provider
immediately downstream from One Eye will then be required to block and
cease accepting all traffic received from One Eye beginning 30 days
after release of the Final Determination Order.
