$GSAT Idea for testing: Iridium doesn’t really expect to gain access to share Globalstar's spectrum, but has helped Globalstar by its request, highlighting absurdity of FCC receiving "sharing" requests - once one competitor wants it, everyone else will say "me too!" SpaceX has of course pursued via RM-11975. Should "all" spectrum be "shared?" Why are the only requests for spectrum sharing targeted at Globalstar (because it's especially valuable spectrum)? FCC is faced with either approving or dismissing both Iridium and SpaceX's requests, because - how can one request be found to have merit, but not the other? The sudden Iridium request opened the door for Globalstar to AGAIN seek rejection of both RM-11975 and the new Iridium request. Will this be teed up for FCC action at the January open Commission Meeting?
