Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents
-
Starlink goes down during heavy rain.
Cybertrucks can't handle rain either. I wonder if there's some connection between them and Starlink?
-
Didn’t work. They are laying fiber everywhere as we speak. So happy to kiss Comcast goodbye.
Comcast still offers fiber in some places, doesn't mean Comcast will go away.
-
Why do we need to have debate with lobbyists and groups of that nature.
They have more $ than you and i, can buy their ways. How that shits not illegal is fucked. Guess it goes with insider trading for Congress, make laws for/against companies you're invested in. USA is beyond rotten and corrupt from the inside. Blatant bribery with Tim cook delivering gold bars to the white house himself.

But they pose no comparison to requirements of what the city or community’s needs. Satellite is slower and pales in comparison to fiber.

But money, you think they care? As long as there is money, your needs mean fuck all.

Does for me! They just ran FIOS and GloFiber through our yard last month.

Hey man I'm all ears. Give me something concrete to do.
Maybe start with doing some research on the Internet yourself instead of asking random strangers from other countries to fix things for you.

Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.
Starlink is poised to benefit from the Trump administration rewriting rules for the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant program. While the Biden administration decided that states should prioritize fiber in order to build more future-proof networks, the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a "tech-neutral approach" and lower the average cost of serving each location.
why not? comcast pulls this shit all over the country.

I'm not sure why people are commenting that I think fiber isn't real?
Of course it's real.
But maybe you're young- Comcast, AT&T, etc, have been given multiple tranches of money since the early 1990s to deliver a nationwide fiber network in the US, they've never delivered more than 0.1% of it.
Giving them more money, won't make it happen.
Giving municipalities (cities, counties) the funds to build out their own fiber networks is good.
Giving more money to Comcast and AT&T to do nothing, is not good, it's corporate welfare.
As much as I dislike the muskrat, is this fiber actually real?
You literally questioned its existence, why are you confused?
Now, everything else you said I either knew, or agree with the assertion.
Btw, I'm definitely not young.

As an American, I do not claim him.

Looks like Elon Musk is getting way too powerful for his own good! He obviously hates competition!

This company is acting like a spoiled brat of a child.

Well, thats fine. We should talk about where he is right now.

He cheated after coming here illegally. Then did a bunch of sex crimes and destroyed american jobs. No. Sorry but illegal immigrants to the torture prison.
I don't make the rules; i just write fanfic about them being enforced evenly.

Comcast doesn't necessarily have to go away as long as they don't have a monopoly on the infrastructure used to deliver an essential utility to homes. But I'd have to agree it would be nice if they just went away too.

they hate you. always remember. they hate your entire existence. they'd literally crush you in a hydraulic press if they could. giving you pain is the only way they feel a semblance of happiness.
Look, yes, will we and they and literally all life end they aren't stopped?
Sure, yes, obviously.
Can they be negotiated with persuaded medicated or coerced into rational sane self interest? Nope. Not one of them.
But if youre not willing to end all life for theit bullshit, to kill yourself in such a slow and spectacylar manner that no life escapes, you're advocaging violence, you vig murdering dummy.

People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I've had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It's so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.
Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don't believe you
They are genuinely inhuman monsters.
-
Isn't it that they just don't care?
Nope. It's active and malevolent.
