May be that official comms are MITMed by the three letters, as they should be, and they need a secure channel to commit treason on.
If all White House communications go through Starlink, Musk has access to all of it, to use as he sees fit. Blackmail, enriching himself, selling to the highest bidder. Great move for him financially.
Grifters gonna grift
Because now Mush gets to monitor all that is done and said digitally in the whole government
Because trump wants to reward leon for his servitude and contributions with a huge ass government contract.
Starlink is free the first month, but after that it’s 19,999,999.00 a month. Data theft is a free bonus.
“Are you suggesting I don’t understand Wi-Fi?”, US Press secretary… Probably
Ominous voice: “She doesn’t.”
Yes, yes I am. Can you tell me which security standard you are using? WEP or WPA? (If they answer WPA) And which type?
I question if this fulfills security requirements.
I don’t. I’m sure it doesn’t.
Well probably the other way around. To protect DOGE from oversight
Hmmm, monitoring employees and funneling info, huh?
They have zero idea. It’s bidirectional satellite, and not low-latency, so…ELON SAID SO
Eh, it’s decently low latency. Around 40ms or so. That doesn’t make it useful for them though. There’s absolutely no -legitimate- reason for it in the white house. As for illegitimate reasons, why could Musk possibly want a connection inside the white house that has no oversight other than his own…?
60+Ms at a minimum is not low latency. What are you on about? I have 10ms from coast to coast on residential fiber.
Government installs which were previously on fiber are being switched to this bullshit. Fiber international interconnect to Australia right now is 13ms from DC to Sydney. Big fucking difference.
It might depend on location and congestion, but usually it is under 25ms on average.
15,700+km from DC to Sydney, which is 52+ms at light speed…
Oh yes, please do “improve”… With the Starlink priority plans you’ll have amazing speeds such as 40-220 Mbps down/8-25 Mbps up 😂😂
They’re gonna shit their pants with excitement when they experience these speeds^^
They’ll be able to drive home and shit in the comfort of their own homes with those speeds. They’ll have dumped their load before the page loads.
Don’t forget the latency and QoS that’ll probably be done haphazardly limiting everyone to just a sliver of the total available bandwidth.
I don’t thing latecy is a problem when you only use it to watch child porn
Regardless of what it’s being used for, sending data to low orbit rather than across fiber optic will always have more latency.
Yikes I had no idea the speeds were so bad. Even my Australian internet is significantly faster
I mean it’s a great product. For anyone living in a place where Fiber, 5G, or even a classic ADSL connection isn’t available. If you use it in a well developed area that would offer you any of the above, you’re a moron
It’s in series for rubes.
It’s a good backup internet service to avoid BIFF. But it reads like they are piping in internet from a datacenter, so just using starlink as an ISP.
Why? $$$. I bet the whitehouse spends a lot on internet.
Also, it’s probably really easy to perform traffic inspection using starlink vs an established, regulated ISP.
Like his semen he spreads his companies everywhere.
Gathering blackmail.
That’s just the new direct line to our great comrade Putties poot.
