      Stop being dramatic. Nobody is “stopping” Starlink service. They just can’t step on anyone else’s toes in the RF spectrum, like has been the case since the FCC was founded a century ago. Everybody has their lane, and Elon wants more.

          The same way everyone else had to do it. Figure out how to pack more data into the same space. People came up with innovations like phase division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, and the like, as well as using much higher frequencies, into the very high microwave region. Elon can figure it out too. A good engineer knows how to work with what they have.
