Yes but so? Isn’t this Starlink telling fcc to give up and just send them all the money? That fcc commissioners is saying that’s stupid, we need to keep trying?

I fully agreed they have completely screwed up broadband rollout while spending $100B of our money. But that doesn’t mean an Elon monopoly is a better choice. Let Starlink compete as one of the choices but make sure there are choices

No it’s Starlink saying the fcc doesn’t need to hand out any more funds.
