The FCC decided it wouldn’t be the “best” use of limited funds.

    That’s significantly less of a concern than assisting in elevating a few billion people out of poverty

        Quite excited to see what some competition will do in this space (no pun intended) with Amazon’s upcoming deployment.

        You hate Musk, we get it. Now, try to stay on topic

            The concept is literally working right now.

            Also, I’ve read the article. I’m not sure why you’re trying to make this chain about musk?

                    A poor person doesn’t need an internet connection in the middle of the woods. Free wifi in cities would do INFINITELY more

                    This is not a serious response.

        The internet most assuredly has. Idk about Starlink’s performance at all outside of Ukraine.
