I agree. If Musk did not want to assume this cost and perform this crucial and powerful function, he could have said no and backed out. As Russia improves their electronic counter measures, RCM, then Starlink has to mount ECCM - then ECCCM and on the ECCCCM as it develops, it is going to get harder and more complicated to maintain secure communications via Starlink. The Pentagon also learns about these ECCnM, and they will need these skills that are doubtless being jointly developed by Startlink and the Pentagon. Thus the USA and joint allies should jointly get involved in the $$ and tech aspects. Perhaps the pentagon will want a closed USA shop on this stuff?
