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.
