    You keep showing how you don’t know anything about this, there are no subsidies on these items. Starlink is owned by SpaceX, so it is essentially free to launch besides the fuel it costs to launch. They are going to spend the money on operations, no matter what. If you want to call that a subsidy fine, but it’s a subsidy that’s never going away.

    Secondly, prices have not gone up for the most popular plan that normal folks have. Prices were only raised for customers that do not have a fixed location, such as people who use their dish on a boat or RV.

    Third, It’s funny how confident you are when the fact is that this is such a good business model that other companies are desperately trying to fill the space as competitors.

    Amazon’s Kupier just starter launching their network, and have significantly greater launch costs than starlink because they do not own the launch vehicles, still Kupier will print money for Amazon in 10 years. You are talking out of your ass.

    I see you responding to many of my comments, it shows you are unreasonably upset about something that shouldn’t upset you. Yes Elon musk is a horrible person that will hopefully die soon, doesn’t change the fact SpaceX and Starlink are both incredibly successful and will continue to be in the future.

    Also last I read the cost to manufacture a terminal was now lower than the cost they sell them at, and that will continue to drop as production scales up (because there is significant demand despite what you may believe)
