Agree with you - Starlink doesn't have a government connection. In fact the reason it was successful is that it didn't have one. The government connected internet was the landlines that the cable companies were trying to deploy in the rural America for high cost tax paying dollars.

It is a US company though - but I think this is very tin foil hat territory here.



> Starlink doesn't have a government connection.

US DOD is contracting Starlink in Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_in_the_Russian-Ukrain...


Originally on inception -- sorry should have clarified for the purposes of the speculation purposes that it is US gov controlled.


Do you honestly think any US industry is impervious to being coopted by this corrupt administration?


I do - more so than most other countries.


Thank you for the optimism. I hope you're right.
