Top Commerce Dept Official RESIGNS, BLASTS Starlink inferiority to other paths to more broadband access

Short version: Elon is trying to STEAL BEAD funds

After conversations about this post, RantWoman stands by serious concern about an unelected tech bro plowing into EVERY aspect of the US government.

RantWoman also notes that the company, Ookla FIBER referred to with concerns about the effective speeds of Starlink services can be expected to vigorously represent its own interests. For some hard-to-serve remote areas, satellite may in fact be the best option even if it means that people might have good speeds one hour a week using service at someone else's house. RantWoman definitely does not want to impose her urban-centric experience of internet availability on places that solve problems differently.

And RantWoman stands by concerns!
