The applications notes the FCC has previously denied SpaceX’s request to use the 2GHz band on account of Echostar’s license, with Elon Musk’s company noting the regulator had said “same band, separate operating sharing would be impracticable.” SpaceX and EchoStar have now entered into an agreement to assign EchoStar's AWS-4 licenses, its AWS-H Block licenses, and its 2GHz MSS market-access authorization to SpaceX,” the company said in its application. “Therefore, the logic that previously led the Space Bureau to dismiss SpaceX's application to provide 2GHz MSS service now compels the opposite result: the Bureau should swiftly accept and grant SpaceX's application, as it is now the only operator capable of deploying service in the band under the existing framework.”
