That effort ought to come to a head later this month during the FCC's planned Auction 108 of unused 2.5GHz spectrum licenses in mostly rural areas. However, an investment firm fronted by a telecom billionaire is developing into a potential fly in T-Mobile's 5G ointment. https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobiles-25ghz-headache/a/d-id/778843?_mc=RSS_LR_EDT -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

SpaceX sent a "manipulated filing" to the Federal Communications Commission in an attempt to prove the expanded 5G usage would lead to substantial interference, writes Dish and a group of other companies known as the 5G for 12 GHz Coalition. They write that SpaceX is conducting "a public misinformation campaign" against 5G. "This tactic, which is commonly used by Elon Musk, is not only disingenuous, but it promulgates an anti-5G narrative that is harmful to American consumers who deserve greater competition, connectivity options and innovation," the Coalition writes in a statement published today. https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/7/23198523/dish-spacex-starlink-5g-12ghz-argument-manipulated-tests
