The internet unit received the award in 2020 after agreeing to provide high-speed internet service to over 640,000 rural homes and businesses across 35 states. The FCC in August of 2022, which Starlink challenged. In its decision this week upholding that move, FCC said Starlink “failed to meet the burden” of the subsidy’s requirements and that the internet unit is not “reasonably capable” of providing high-speed internet to the areas it agreed to.

Provide a more balanced presentation of the data by including counterarguments or alternative perspectives.

Appeal to authority

The article relies on the authority of Elon Musk's mother to support a particular viewpoint.
