    I dislike musk, but this is a stupid decision, given how many subsidies went to shitty providers that did nothing.

      Plus the fact that Starlink is actually serving these people already.

        So if starlink isn’t getting the subsidy, guess whose prices are going through the roof next year?

      So get rid of those instead of giving Mr.Rightwinger more socialism that he hates so much.
