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 do we need to have debate with lobbyists and groups of that nature.

you kidding? they're demons, making your life worse is what they jerk off to.
I'm pretty sure they mostly do it for the profit.

That's the magic hand of the market that all talk about...
Capitalist myth similar to how monarchs are chosen by gods. I swear, Americans are so propagandized to that they would chuck disabled people into volcanoes if the Koch brothers told them Jesus wanted them to.

no. there's no end to the amount of disdain they have for you. they'd do it for free too; they just don't have to.
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

Didn’t work. They are laying fiber everywhere as we speak. So happy to kiss Comcast goodbye.

Why is it always this same recurring cast of 100 same rotating cunts over and over ?
If we get rid of them, can we at least have fresh new cunts, this batch is extremely stale, LUIGI !!!!🧱🧱👽 🔫 🧱🧱🧘 🔫 🧱🧱🦵🏼 🔫I was reading a (non-fiction) book about Gallipoli, a battle that was fought in Turkey in 1915-16 during WWI. At one point, an Australian journalist by the name of "Keith Murdoch" shows up and starts contributing to the Allies' failures and eventual withdrawal. And I was like "wait, is that?" and the answer was "yep". Keith Murdoch was born in 1885 and was Rupert Murdoch's (full name Keith Rupert Murdoch) father. Aside from helping to fuck up Gallipoli, Papa Murdoch led a smear campaign against Australia's greatest WWI general (who just happened to be Jewish) and got him removed from command. The Murdoch name has been a stain on humanity for a long time.

This is libelous. We would chuck differently-abled people into volcanoes.

Starlink goes down during heavy rain.
Cybertrucks can't handle rain either. I wonder if there's some connection between them and Starlink?

Comcast still offers fiber in some places, doesn't mean Comcast will go away.

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.

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.
