[Starlink] The curious case of the missing Starlink spectrum licences

[Hayden Simon]

Ask what?

It looks like either they haven’t paid, or RRF is having a hard time. Best to direct the question to MBIE / RSM.

That would not surprise me much.

The frequencies are clearly being used, though, as we're seeing traffic from Starlink our Starlink dishy come in via vocusgroup (one of their backhaulers) to the Auckland Peering Exchange with RTTs that preclude the use of an overseas teleport.

Given that your local MP has a passing interest in Starlink, shall we ask?

I asked someone who would know about such things; and he said:

“from the looks of it, most of the licences expired. Either because they weren't being used, or because Starlink forgot to pay for them, or because the RRF is such a giant cluster it ate all their licenses. (this would not be unusual)

I can see eleventy billion expired licenses in there and at least enough to keep their business going that were planned in October and are in "awaiting payment to grant" state now.
