Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
Patches@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoYou don’t even have to go extremely rural to get no internet choices.
I am 20 minutes from a town of 150,000 people and without cellular or starlink we would have nothing.

Right, but the point is, instead of going to Starlink that taxpayer money could be used to get access to where you’re at.

Comcast will take the taxpayer money, run a shit 5mbps line to the rural area, charge you out the ass for it and pocket the difference from the subsidies.

They already did that…we gave the telecoms almost 1 trillion dollars…we do not need to be giving them more.
