[Starlink] SpaceX ordered to explain pricing strategy

[Mike Puchol]

Oh, one thing we know for sure is they are already covering certain cells with multiple channels (different frequencies, as mentioned). We have observed two terminals in the same location having different POP latency patterns, which can only be explained by having two separate paths.

Best,

Mike

The left side is a beam almost at nadir, the right side is close to maximum steering angle. Any hexagonal cell inside the beam’s footprint cannot be covered by another beam (from same or other satellite), as the overlap would violate the restrictions on Starlink’s license:
