Comment on AT&T and Verizon have a beef with T-Mobile’s Starlink satellite service - The Verge
LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 2 months agoThey are claiming that they think it would, despite the fact that both T-Mobile and starlink have demonstrated that it won’t in trials. They are also simultaneously getting ready to roll out their own service based on the exact same technology which proves they are just talking out their ass because they want more time to catch up

A trial run by Starlink has found Starlink won’t interfere with other carriers?
Guess we’ll take their word for it.

Starlink and T-Mobile, in a limited area that was approved by the FCC for testing. And at the end of that trial they are required to give the results to the FCC so AT&T and Verizon wouldn’t even need to say anything if it was going to cause interference the FCC would just stop it at the end of the trials. The fact that that didn’t happen and that they now feel the need to try and say it might interfere is proof that they are just stalling.
And again they are literally getting ready to roll out the exact same thing, based on the exact same technology, using the exact same frequencies. They literally just want time to catch up because they got caught slacking lol

If that’s true, why do they need this exemption?

You could try actually reading? The article goes over why they want the exemption. Which is mainly that the fcc’s maximum transmit power for this particular band is both outdated and wildly over cautious. They argue that you can easily transmit with more power without creating any interference and that’s what the trial was demonstrating
