DISH Wants Starlink To Cease Operations In Case Of Unfavorable FCC Decisions

DISH Corporation believes that SpaceX should be required to cease Starlink operations if FCC proceedings go against SpaceX. Take a look!

No chance. Rural area folks would rather have fast Internet than satellite. The genie is out of the bottle!!

Bitter. But this is where Charlie’s history may come back to bite him. What credibility?

LOL, don't you see what's happening here? Charlie is angling for Elon to BUY Dish Network, to stop this.

Charlie is saying that Starlink would create network interference with DISH's user equipment. What user equipment? The Hopper and TV service or DISH's internet service that lots of country folks have or both?

This is just Charlie being Charlie and eventually gaining a 30% stake in Starlink for little reason other than because Charlie managed to be Charlie.

If this were an issue, AT&T would complain too, right? Or is AT&T that apathetic about Directv?

Makes the most sense really. Any problem with the bird, elon can drive over and fix it up real quick! Win - Win!

Starlink users should all show up at Charlie's house to complain.

Charlie knows that because of StarLink, it will be the end of Hughesnet, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar.

The first reaction I had when I read the title was HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yeah, right....

Before I'd use something as retarded as Hughesnet, I'd pay a whole bunch of people to set up relay stations between me and the nearest Comcast node...

Exactly brother!

All Charlie needs to do is finish building his 5G nationwide network and this won’t even be an issue.

The fact of the matter is, besides Starlink, Gotw3 and other 4G cellular hotspots in general are eating both Highesnet and Viasat alive these days

Chuck can kiss my butt...although I'll have to wait almost a whole second for him to get his lips nice and wet.

Not a good week for Charlie. First T Mobile tries to "out-Charlie" him. He then takes on a guy who is both richer and smarter than him.

Hughesnet is going to a high speed - up to 100 Mb/s d/l speed Sat., but regardless, it's gotten almost painful for me to install Hughesnet. It's always something with the installs, unsatisfied customers, et al...

There is zero chance of Starlink satellites interfering with Dish equipment, since the Starlink satellites transmit to the south, while Dish satellites are pointed north. The Dish Network dish reflectors on the ground are aimed to the south at the Geostationary location while Starlink points north. The signals are passing at near right angles to each other. If Dish’s reflectors can’t reject an off-center signal, then they’d be receiving other geostationary orbital locations.

Even if a Starlink satellite passes directly in the beam path from an Echostar GSO satellite to a customer’s ground station, Starlink’s small size and the speed it’s traveling means it wouldn’t block the signal for more than a microsecond and the FEC would handle the signal dropout.

Before DSL came along at my location I subscribed to a satellite service called Wildblue. All I can say about any satellite service is that it's better than dial up. That's it.

Starlink beta being delivered next week! Sorry Charlie...

 

[eddie willers]

Those predicting a meger/major stake are correct.

IMO, of course.
