Interesting its per year. Elon did a tweet a few weeks ago that said it would be "owned" and "controlled" by the DOD.

Owned and controlled probably just refers to the DoD being allowed to do practically anything it wants with it and having the controls to enable/disable cells. So no restrictions like "don't mount the antennas to drones" and no need to request SpaceX to enable/disable cells.
