    Just when you think everything's looking rosy and bright - and fast -
    this comes along:
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Today we ask for your support in ending a lobbying campaign that
    threatens to make Starlink unusable for you and the vast majority of
    our American customers.

    As recently reported, DISH Network has been hoarding spectrum for
    years as a strategy for preventing open and fair competition.

    Most recently, DISH has been attempting to claim new rights to the 12
    GHz band, which is the spectrum you currently use to download content
    with Starlink. Despite technical studies dating back as far as 2016
    that refute the basis of their claims, DISH has employed paid
    lobbyists who are attempting to mislead the FCC with faulty analysis
    in hopes of obscuring the truth.

    In reality, if DISH gets their way, Starlink customers will experience
    harmful interference more than 77% of the time and total outage of
    service 74% of the time, rendering Starlink unusable for most
    Americans. You can read the details here.

    The FCC and your members of Congress have the power to stop this
    effort, but they need to hear from you.
    Click here (no, it's not clickable here, but it is below) to ask the
    FCC and members of Congress to put an end to this threat.

    I love it. One minute you're a customer, the next you're a warrior fighting in Elon's army against the evil hoards of Dish. Here's your flag:

    I hope you fly it proudly so everyone can tell which side you are
    on. Maybe wear a tinfoil hat. I don't know why I would care about some
    crackers anymore than any other sad case? I'll get back to you when I
    figure out what's in it for me.
