    I dislike musk, but this is a stupid decision, given how many subsidies went to shitty providers that did nothing.

      Bell operating companies stretched cable out to the rural areas. That’s a lot more than nothing.

      So get rid of those instead of giving Mr.Rightwinger more socialism that he hates so much.

        So if starlink isn’t getting the subsidy, guess whose prices are going through the roof next year?
