Jim Bell's comment:
Business Insider is a leftist rag.
I doubt SpaceX NEEDS any Federal subsidies for Starlink.  If it is a working system (and these reports seem to show that it works well) then it will provide competition to the incumbent wire- or fiber Internet services we have been locked into for too long.
