Then Starlink doesn't have to participate.

The market is flawed - hence the NYS government is trying to fix the issue that ISPs don't provide a minimum service at a low cost.

NYS is attempting to fix the issues with the market. Companies that don't love their rules can just participate in the regular market. Its pretty simple.

This is just a subsidy from normal rate payers to the low income payers. We already have a mechanism for that, it's called income tax.

Sounds like they can participate as long as they stay limited to 20,000 users in NY State
