Right, imagine two billionaires arguing over who owns the air. Not land. Not buildings. Just air. That’s basically what’s going on with EchoStar and SpaceX. The FCC, basically the adult supervision, has stepped in to ask EchoStar why they’re squatting on spectrum like a dragon with commitment issues. EchoStar goes, “We totally cover 268 million people.” Sure you do, mate. Probably with a damp towel and a vague promise.
Meanwhile, Elon’s throwing a tantrum because he wants the 2 GHz band. Think of it like trying to steal your neighbour’s Wi-Fi, but you’ve already got ten routers and a laser uplink. EchoStar claps back saying SpaceX is pulling a “regulatory land grab.” Translation: billionaires arguing about who gets to control invisible real estate. Monopoly for sociopaths.
