Dish Labels SpaceX 2 GHz Interference Claims a 'Charade'

SpaceX's acknowledging it didn't assess whether its supplemental coverage from space service in the 2 GHz band will interfere with Dish Network operations (see 2312120057) shows SpaceX's application runs counter to FCC rules, as such an assessment is required, Dish told the FCC Space Bureau in a letter Thursday. SpaceX could have conducted an interference analysis based on information available about Dish's operations but "did not, and that fact ends the charade," Dish said. SpaceX didn't comment Friday.
