The FCC decided it wouldn’t be the “best” use of limited funds.

      Right, but the point is, instead of going to Starlink that taxpayer money could be used to get access to where you’re at.

        Comcast will take the taxpayer money, run a shit 5mbps line to the rural area, charge you out the ass for it and pocket the difference from the subsidies.

        They already did that…we gave the telecoms almost 1 trillion dollars…we do not need to be giving them more.
