FCC cancels Starlink’s and LTD's rural development grants

I get more than that on the RV plan in an oversubscribed area (jumped the queue).

I’d be lucky to get 5/1.5 from frontier, and their DSL service in the area goes down every few weeks.

This seems like a case of lobbyist-induced double standards.

You think Starlink doesn’t have lobbysists?

If they failed their qualifying metrics and did win the subsidies anyway, wouldn’t mirror universe hedora be here complaining about that double standard?

To me at least, this seems less obviously suspect than that would have.

Of course they do. I’m just wondering when the last two decades of RBOF funding (which had no apparent effect) is going to be returned to the federal government.
