A comment on Oh, 2022. Parent comment
Comcast could have built out service in so many of our current residential areas, but chose not to. For no apparent reason but that it cost capex.
There was so much funding to extend internet access to rural areas. None of the major vendors engaged these funds and used them to provide capacity.
If Starlink succeeds, I'll raise a glass to the memory of Comcast and others.
