Probably.
Given the systemic corruption elsewhere, I can’t summon anger about this until I can verify if the utility is necessary and uniquely provided by Starlink. If so, then this is just bad optics. If not, it should be aggressively fought.
- bumby 2y agoIf it were “uniquely provided” by Starlink, how do you think Verizon got the award?
- Ancapistani 2y agoWere they unable to fulfill the contract? As I said, I don’t have the full context here.

- bumby 2y agoIt’s a 15 year contract awarded in 2023 so it may be too early to tell. The strongest public claims that Verizon isn’t capable comes from their competitor so those claims should probably be taken with a boulder of salt until more information is made available.
- inemesitaffia 2y agoThis has nothing to do with Verizon. All these arguments (and this article) come from a place of ignorance)

- bumby 2y agoCare to elaborate? I think the more salient issue is the contracting process, not any particular company.
