FCC chair wants more competition to SpaceX's Starlink unit
September 11, 2024
Federal Communications Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel said she wants to see more competition to SpaceX's internet satellite constellation Starlink and that "Our economy doesn't benefit from monopolies". This, after the same woman said in 2022 the FCC was denying SpaceX funding for rural broadband because, she said, "We cannot afford to subsidize ventures that are not delivering the promised speeds or are not likely to meet program requirements."
