    Elon can go to hell but I think I agree with the government on this one. The contracts were already signed and this was planned for a long time. Just cancelling and aborting the plans because there’s no immediate alternative available.

    Ditch Starlink when there’s another provider ready to go. Don’t leave a bunch of infrastructure offline just to make a point.

        True. At least in terms of data collection and tracking, you could stick a firewall behind it and tunnel all your traffic some place else, at least.
