I wish we just used NASA and the FCC dollars to build out our own Starlink. Subsidies for big companies should come with equity. These numbers we are talking about between the rural build out and the low-income subsidies probably come close to our own system.

Starlink et al are compelling alternatives, but they are in no way a suitable substitute for gigabit fiber. I wish people could stop trying to play space ranger and just help the poor compete. They are members of our society, they deserve not to be stuck as beta testers for inferior service.
