Starlink also just launched in earnest a couple years ago, and is experiencing meteoric growth rates of ~100% a year.
It doesn't take very many doublings for this comment to go down with "why would anyone want Dropbox."
- bilbo0s 3y agoAt those growth rates, they shouldn't need the 900 Million. So this decision by the FCC shouldn't make a difference. As a matter of full disclosure, being from Wisconsin, (home of the great FoxConn boondoggle), I now find myself firmly against corporate welfare. Giving a guy who's supposed to be the richest man in the world a billion dollars to provide me internet service? Nah, that doesn't smell right to me. Something's off about that.
