SpaceX's Starlink Denied $900 Million Subsidy, Blasts FCC and Accuses Biden

SpaceX is criticizing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for refusing to reinstate an $886 million broadband grant awarded to Starlink. The FCC rejected SpaceX's appeal, stating that the company failed to meet the requirements for the grant. The grant was intended to subsidize the deployment of broadband to rural areas with limited access. SpaceX argues that Starlink is the best option to connect unserved and underserved Americans, but the FCC questioned the satellite provider's ability to consistently provide high-speed, low-latency service.
