U.S. FCC approves Amazon Leo's acquisition of part of Globalstar's satellite spectrum in $11.5 billion deal

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved Amazon Leo acquiring about 25 MHz of Globalstar's mobile satellite service spectrum, completing regulatory review of the $11.5 billion deal. The approval also lets Amazon build and launch satellites using the previously approved Globalstar C-3 system once the deal closes. It matters because spectrum is the scarce input for satellite internet, and the clearance removes the last regulatory hurdle to Amazon's challenge to Starlink.
