Why Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are combating over satellites?

The two richest men of the world are battling before the US regulators over real estate in space for their satellites.

Elon Musk has asked if he could run Starlink Communications Satellite from SpaceX in an orbit lower than previously planned but Jeff Bezos and his Amazon Inc. says it will hinder the operations of it’s Kuiper satellites which perform the same function as Starlink i.e. transmitting internet services from outer space. SpaceX said their plans would not hinder Amazon’s plans because Kuiper Satellite is still a developing project.

Lower orbit helps in quicker internet services because the signal being transmitted doesn’t go far. SpaceX stated that lower orbits will fall out of orbit quicker than orbits that are higher up in space
