ISPs step up fight against SpaceX, tell FCC that Starlink will be too slow

It does sound like sour grapes and the timing of the report a day before Starlink made general signups available (albeit with a limited number per geographic area) is interesting.

I have a ISP in both the UK and Colorado, for similar service the UK ISP is a tenth of the Comcast Business price. And in the UK I can choose from over 40 ISPs with FTTC.

I can’t wait for a bit of competition and yes I’ve signed up.

Those ISPs have been gorging from the universal access funds for decades and some huge fraction of the country is still dialup. They had their chance.
