I will bet dollars to pesos that if Starlink fails to provide the service, the cause will be government corruption.
Therefore the government is warning people of the potential for them to get hurt because the government failed to get the shakedown that they're hoping for.
Excuse me if I fail to see said government as being in the right. Now you may think I'm just being cynical. But according to https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/india https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/india nearly 90% OF THEIR OWN CITIZENS think that government corruption is a big problem in India. I just think that the general public knows what they are talking about here.
- mohanmcgeek 5y agoIs the perception of corruption the same as incidence of corruption? If anything this only shows that this country takes corruption way more seriously than "developed" countries. This shady ISP from a known market manipulator should have a license before they started getting pre-orders. We don't want another FSD pre-order snake oil.. Do we?
- leobg 5y agoDude. So the stock went 20x and you missed it. Get over it. Regarding the license, the “snake oil market manipulator” said something about that. When asked what corrupt governments could do if they didn’t want their citizens to have access to the unfiltered internet he said “they can shake their fists at the sky”.
