How is it a "power grab"?

He was man who was able to make it happen so he did. There is no argument against the fact that it has made the world far better connected, which we all presume to be a good thing.

I have customers in remote locations within the US that had no meaningful internet before Starlink. For them, it was a breath of fresh air the day it started.

So, why is the magazine attacking it? Any idea? Makes me think there are motivations at work besides reporting the facts.

For most of us, many of us, it doesn't matter at all. But for those who are affected, it makes a difference. These sites are in places where keeping systems running was previously a far more difficult task, but with Starlink they're just as accessible as customers in major cities when support is needed. For me that is a big winner for everyone involved.
