SpaceX just exposed a dirty ploy by Lockheed Martin and Omnispace to block Starlink’s direct-to-cell service.
Lockheed’s partner allegedly rigged their aging satellite to fake interference and filed bogus FCC complaints, trying to stop Starlink from dominating the 5G space.
In a bombshell FCC filing, SpaceX revealed how Omnispace manipulated its MEO satellite to “intentionally detect” Starlink signals—despite the satellite barely being operational.
SpaceX slammed the claims as “bizarre,” accusing Omnispace of creating “artificial conditions” to fake interference.
The plot thickens: Omnispace refused standard coordination talks and went as far as licensing through Papua New Guinea to dodge regulations.
It’s all part of an effort to sabotage Starlink’s $34.9 billion future in global communications.
Will the FCC see through this sham, or will Lockheed’s shady tactics derail Starlink’s revolution?
