World's richest Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos fight over low orbital space for satellite fleets

India Today  

The world’s two richest men Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are fighting over satellite fleets. Space X and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has asked the US regulators -- the Federal Communications Commission for permission to operate Starlink communications satellites at a lower orbit than first planned. Amazon has reportedly said that the move would risk interference and collisions with its planned Kuiper satellites, which like Starlink are designed to beam internet service from space. "It is SpaceX’s proposed changes that would hamstring competition among satellite systems," Amazon tweeted Tuesday from its official news account. SpaceX told the FCC that its plans would not increase interference with Amazon’s plans and termed them as “still nascent plans.” Musk in a reply on Twitter wrote, "It does not serve the public to hamstring Starlink today for an Amazon satellite system that is at best several years away from operation."
