It seems US didn't coordinate Starshield's unusual spectrum use with other countries.

US spy satellites built by SpaceX send signals in the “wrong direction”
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
The second paragraph states: "The signals are sent from space to Earth in a frequency band that’s allocated internationally for Earth-to-space and space-to-space transmissions." (emphasis mine)
Then goes on to exhaustively explain how using these frequencies Space-to-earth is not according to the norms.
So how did Scott Tilley and the author conclude that the emissions are NOT being used space-to-space and are not being received as an unintended sideband of the satellites using them as space-to-space communications? I mean other than seeing that it's SpaceX so Musk adjacent and jumping to the conclusion that it HAS to be judged the worst way possible.
Is there a technical reason for excluding these frequencies being used in space-to-space communications?
