The term "5G" among technical circles started vague, became better defined over

But is what Starlink saying true or not?
It would be a pity to not have an alternative to incumbent telephants.

It’s not entirely clear, without knowing the technical details of the Starlink
modulation scheme whether or not they could successfully share the 12Ghz
spectrum.
I have no reason to disbelieve their claims.
Frankly, I really don’t think that Dish’s idea of providing 5G mobile service
from satellites is a particularly good or beneficial one and granting them
12Ghz spectrum for this purpose is probably not really in the public interest.
I thought they were land based? What I read is that being land based
means that they can transmit at much higher power.
OTOH, I think Starlink is most definitely an interesting product that does
provide a clear path to reasonable alternatives to the incumbent telephants.
Especially when you factor in mobility when they get there. No more
roaming fees, all over the world.
