it will be Most Interesting to see if/how this 43 page @omnispace presentation to the @FCC of the observed interference from the @Starlink D2D testing will affect those intended launch plans or not
Fair enough. Interesting to
see.
The interference aspect might
come not only from omnispace vs spacex, but there are other sats
up there using ground cell frequencies. I heard last September
about vodafone and bluewalker using also unmodified smartphones,
i.e. ground cell frequencies. Further, I also heard about
recent russian 5G NTN satellite put up there in the orbit. I
would not be surprised to hear that China, or other country,
also has 5G sats up there just to listen, just in case. Not to
mention these direct bluetooth ground-to-sat experiments.
Interference might be intentional or unintentional.
It will be advantageous to see
how this Direct-to-Cell (or to smartphone, or to device) feature
can be used in some useful manner, such as crime scene
resolution where there is no ground 'tower' but some sat was
there and heard that this or that smartphone was connected or
not.
