I'm doubtful whether it's a good idea to give a private company like Starlink so much power over our communication in general. Why should they have the satellites for such a network? Wouldn't it be better that something crucial as this is publicly owned? Just thinking about the incident when Starlink cut access for Ukraine in fear their use of Starlink might trigger an atomic war. Why should one business person be able to make such a decision?



I'm fairly sure if you took an AT&T branded cell tower repeater into a warzone the wouldn't be very keen on supporting it either.
