Abstract
- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has revoked funding for Elon Musk's Starlink satellite service, which aimed to provide high-speed internet to rural Americans. The FCC's decision was based on the company's failure to meet its commitment to connect 640,000 rural Americans two years ahead of schedule. However, Starlink had filed documents demonstrating its capability to meet the benchmark. The decision has raised concerns about political bias and the FCC's independence as an agency. The article suggests that if the government is going to fund broadband expansion, it should do so based on objective criteria rather than political considerations. [Extracted from the article]
