Spoken like a true spoiled city person Good luck getting the necessary infrastructure built (cables, towers, et al) to really remote places. It's probably more expensive in the long run than having a satellite constellation.

You're no better than musk and trump if you act like them and spread disinformation. That's not how you fight the far-right. SpaceX has failed on the timelines, sure, but they still have delivered much more and better than anyone else during the same period of time. It's still a shame they lack proper competition.
