Elon tweeted a request for community lobbying of the FCC to oppose Dish. However, none of the dozen+ SpaceX bloggers that I’ve notified have even heard of it.
Thank you Kelly. We will be submitting ours today then!
Link below is an article that addresses the issue of the Spectrum battle that could impact Starlink.
We are new to Starlink this week after a two year wait. Located in Eastern North Carolina. This would be a great disappointment to all US Starlink users according to the article. (info doesn't address the global impact if any). The form letter asked to let the FCC know your opinion. We did send in form letter with our comments to Federal Representatives.

Hey Alan, not yet…hopefully soon. Looks like there pretty backed up at Starlink, there was a warning when I submitted it in that they have a long waiting time due to volume.
Hey Alan, I did not receive this email from Starlink. I did dig into it and there is a statement on Starlink's website. After finding that article I did do some digging online which eventuality lead me to your article. It might only be for select areas, hence the reason I might not have gotten the email. I'm going to submit a ticket into to Starlink just to verify that it is them asking this and not some sort of elaborate scam. It's weird that they don't have any request or link in the articles on Starlink's site that lead to the form...
