WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The Federal

Communications Commission said Tuesday it has approved a license

for T-Mobile and SpaceX's Starlink unit to provide

supplemental coverage from space in a bid to extend internet

access to remote areas.

For the first time, the FCC has authorized a satellite

operator collaborating with a wireless carrier to provide

supplemental coverage from space on some flexible-use spectrum

bands allocated to terrestrial service. The partnership aims to

extend the reach of wireless networks to remote areas and

eliminate so-called "dead zones."
