I am all-for accessible, affordable Internet. But not if it means giving any more multi-billion dollar contracts to Elon Musk.How can I be sure he isn't spying for the bad guys?
I, for one, would go with smoke signals before I'd get stuck with Starlink.

Indeed Starlink is not the answer. There are much better, more cost effective, ways to provide rural internet than monopolizing low earth orbit to do so. Plus, we need to recognize the impact on astronomy and the potential for a Kessler Syndrome catastrophe from collisions in LEO.
