SpaceX's Starlink receives $886 million from FCC to improve rural internet

I guess there's no need to fund rural America on an old beat up copper network. WIN just lost LOTS of value today

'Did you also see that Windstream got $522.89 million ?'

And.....so? How much total money have they been 'awarded' over the years. Has anyone seen any accountability on how much of this money will actually go to 'improving' rural internet speeds? It will probably be used mostly to keep the power on for many CO's that are burning up all that electricity with no customers on the equipment.

Or for the LR5's holiday bonus.
