Italy's deal with Starlink has stalled, defence minister says
ROME, March 22 (Reuters) - Negotiations on a potential contract between Elon Musk's satellite internet operator Starlink and the Italian government have stalled, reflecting broader geopolitical tensions, Italy's defence minister said on Saturday.
Every major powerblock will build their own constellation. The need is there, but there is no way that the militaries will give that amount of control to the USA & Musk now. Musk switched of starlink in a critical phase for Ukraine and that was the dead of the program for militaries outside of the USA
No, because for 99% of applications byoubdont need low latency satellite internet. A single geostationary satellite works wonders
Fuck Starlink. Europe is working on its own alternative and it would be actual traitor behaviour to still make a Starlink contract. If anything it should be banned.
Fuck Elon Musk. I want to see him crying and poor. Or „worse“. ☺️🪦💀
They will literally do everything except just installing freaking fiber cables
As a German I hear you. Internet is an actual embarrassment over here. I’m on a 50k Mbit connection and that’s the most they can offer me. 100k is out of question, they told me to ask again in 2028.
Even some African nations probably have better internet than this. Germany is the third richest country by gdp btw.
