A constellation deployment milestone falls due
node
The United States licence for Amazon's broadband constellation carried a milestone requiring half of the authorised satellites to be deployed by 30 July 2026, with full deployment by 2029 — the American analogue of the ITU milestone regime, and the mechanism that prevents a licensee from holding spectrum rights indefinitely without building anything. The deadline fell days before this pack was authored, and the outcome — compliance, extension, waiver or partial forfeiture — could not be established in this session and is recorded as unresolved rather than guessed.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- Establishes the treaty framework under which national administrations file satellite networks, priority follows filing date in non-planned bands, filings lapse unless brought into use, and non-geostationary constellations must meet staged deployment milestones. V55 verification basis: the Radio Regulations were not retrieved in this session; the mechanism is described and the specific milestone percentages and deadlines are named as a gap.
