SpaceX Broadband Data Collection Methodology

SpaceX submitted its Broadband Data Collection filing, which includes subscription and availability data related to Starlink services as of December 31, 2022. In connection with this filing, the Federal Communications Commission requires all internet service providers to submit supporting information regarding the methodology underlying its availability data. This information is relatively difficult to find within the National Broadband Map, and thus, SpaceX files a copy in this docket for greater accessibility. SpaceX crafted its availability data based on the technical capabilities of the Starlink system and a close reading of the rules governing the program. Although SpaceX’s first submission complied with all applicable program rules, SpaceX understands that some users of the National Broadband Map have been confused when comparing it to the Starlink homepage.
