Dish: SpaceX 2 GHz Request 'Lawless' Piracy

SpaceX's effort to use the 2 GHz band to add mobile satellite service (MSS) capabilities to its first-generation constellation (see 2207260005) "is a lawless, pirate application," Dish Network told the FCC International Bureau Thursday. Band licensee Dish said it has been using the band to deploy its 5G network. It said the request seeks to provide MSS when SpaceX's Starlink is authorized to provide only fixed satellite service, and it would violate the agency's rules for the band. SpaceX didn't comment.
