John,
I don’t know what trolling is, so you are right about that.
Tmobile has partnered with starlink to provide cell service to Tmobile customers via starlink satellites, so cell service is now available anywhere in america where you can see the sky.
Many homes are served by underground electricity only so new poles would need to be installed for some or a trench dug to be connected to fiber
There are extremly cheap smart phone plans available to anyone for $25/month which provides all the connectivity needed to live a first world entitled life…...if one chooses to live in the middle of nowhere, one shouldn’t expect the government to provide you electricity or internet connection.
If you do live off the grid, solar panels and batteries….and yes an evil starlink, will connect you plenty good to video chat or stream things….GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!
Like there is no carbon foot print to dig a trench for this holy grale fiber to each and every home in america…....if bill gates invented starlink, you would be singing its praises, but because of close minded partisan thought patterns, it’s musk bad because he supports teump, therefore starlink is bad, I hope you or one of your anti starlink friends doesn’t own a tesla, heaven forbid.
Quite a lot of one sided leftist propaganda on this nw citizen
And…..those horrible private wireless companies will pay for that fiber on their own and the government won’t be burdened to dig trenches along every road in America
Yes they do need fiber, but only between towers and servers, not every single road in the United states that has a residence which has to be like 95% of roads, wireless elimates like 85% of digging as far less miles need to be dug
Musk is no genius, but he is a doer unlike any other, he brought the precious electric car to the world (to save the planet or so the left believes) long standing Ford and GM are still trying to catch up and suck at it even with more government subsidies than tesla, watching all this unfold is funnier than any comedy writer could dream up.
Oh….I almost forgot, who’s company landed a rocket back on its launch pad recently???, LOL! if that’s not genious, I don’t know what is…..think of the positive environmental impact of reusing rockets rather than only one time use as has been for…..I don’t know how long, like forever
All government contracts have a conflict of interest, if starlink is fastest and cheapest, so be it. If musk makes money while being fastest and cheapest so what?
I have starlink and a tmobile 5g gateway.
They both work very well, supporting multiple devices.
Did you forget the life saving communication network musk deployed for ukraine and hurricane victims here in the US?, fiberoptic couldn’t have done that, would take 10 years of digging to do what musk did in 3 days for ukraine
Hi Carrol, I hope rural broadband is canned by musk, rhe federal government has plowed hundreds of millions into “rural broadband service” the last 15+ years and not achieved what starlink did for rural internet, the government would save a fortune and connect everyone if they provided a discounted starlink instead of this empty expensive promise of cable internet, which is now an outdated concept.
Starlink is a great example of the private sector solving problems at no cost to society and government wasting hoards of money for decades while solving almost nothing
I have no public profile, I do not do social media because of argumentative interactions where plain logic and facts isn’t acknowledged like our exchange here.
Facebook (fakebook as I call it), x, Instagram is destroying young people’s lives because we talk AT each other not WITH each other, my way or the highway
I can aggree to disaggree, can you?
That is the most important question in civilized discourse
