"Funding these vast proposed networks would not be the best use of limited Universal Service Fund dollars to bring broadband to unserved areas across the United States, the Commission concluded."
"At the time, FCC Commissioner Brenden Carr called out the agency for denying Starlink's award, stating that refusing to fund Starlink would leave rural Americans 'waiting on the wrong side of the digital divide.'"
