That’s one objection, but another one in the FTC’s rejection as outlined in the article was the cost of terminal.

My point was “cost of terminal” seems like a weird one to be getting dinged on.

I agree capacity seems like a better thing to be focusing on. This seems like an own-goal from StarLink as they could have kept up their speeds by slowing growth and not enabling roaming. But maybe they are just prioritizing subscriber count over winning subsidy dollars.
