Space satellite company is using #hamradio bands without permission, and now is looking to take away the 430 to 440Mhz band for its exclusive use.

AMSAT:

"Despite not being amateur satellites the first five commercial satellites use these amateur frequencies for telemetry links with a 50 kHz bandwidth: 430.5, 432.3, 434.1, 435.9 and 439.5 MHz..... AST SpaceMobile are planning to launch a further 243 satellites .... In February they submitted a request to the FCC Space Bureau for use of the amateur band worldwide"

What. I hope they will be fined big by several national courts for this.

We can not accept further privatisation of public frequency bands.
