SpaceX is unhappy about recent Dish Network developments that could inhibit operation of their Starlink internet service. The band in question lies in the 12GHz region that Dish intends to use as the base of a 5G network, and according to SpaceX spokesman David Goldman there is no convenient solution to retain Starlink function.
