- Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies 11 months ago:
I don’t know that Iridium is still working. I think it’s been decommissioned. But, the US military has been looking for its replacement for years. Now, they could launch their own, or buy a network. Musk not getting RUS funds and losing a thousand satellites from orbit a year makes Starlink a prime candidate.

For an operating company that’s the kiss of death. I predict Starlink will be bought by the US government and there won’t be a he’ll 9f a lot of 0rofit.

- Comment on [HN] US intelligence warned of potential for Gaza clash in days before attack 1 year ago:
Those assessments, if true, were certainty shared with the Israelis. Problem is that there is no actionable intelligence, but certainly Israel could have moved up its security posture. The same thing happened on 9/11 when Rice was advised and did nothing to upgrade security as she was NSA.

The sourcing on this is … very sketchy. And directly contradicts what the US IC is saying. There are going to be many opportunists trying to take advantage to push their preferred agendas.

- Comment on Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College 1 year ago:
Fist of all, thanks for your comment. Secondly, I never stated a preference, I only asked a question. Some people are so afraid of questions that the interpret them as statements. Rather than thinking about an issue, they choose to take a side. This is lazy thinking. You’re one of those.

I haven’t been a conservative since…we’ll, ever. But thanks for the ill informed remark.

If it was population based, they’d only pay attention to large populations.
Don’t get me wrong, I continue not to care.

It matters which people want it. Certainly, if the sample was all in Kansas it would be different than if they were in New York.

- Comment on US broadband grant rules shut out small ISPs and municipalities, advocates say 1 year ago:
Not the existing players, your government. Telephone companies gained right of way from your state because everybody wanted a telephone. Cable companies made a deal with your municipality for right of way by paying for it with a non-competeme clauses. Power companies did the same thing. Why would they put millions of dollars worth of infrastructure in the ground for anything less? Your state and local government, and by extension you, sold it to them.

As the Ukrainians have proven, you may think that hypersonics are a big deal but you can shoot them down if you know where they are going to be. Canaveral is a USAF base and very small. Lots of eyes make their moneyw
- Comment on US broadband grant rules shut out small ISPs and municipalities, advocates say 1 year ago:
Having been in the broadband delivery business at all levels, I sadly report that small ISPs can’t compete in this marketplace to begin with. Reason being they don’t have the investments needed for last mile delivery. If they had the money needed to install landlines, or buy frequency leases, or fly a global satellite network then they wouldn’t be a small ISP. The best that they can do is develop resell relationships.
