@co-hoosier for sure. It has improved our lives in countless ways. But I’m not sure the total has actually improved our quality of lives. Because while I’m talking to friends from all over the world this am and my internet friend coh I also got an incredibly aggravating text from a customer that will ruin much of my Sunday
Rural America which uses Starlink might disagree.
Serious question: Why has Musk been unwilling (or unable?) to provide Ukraine with Starlink connectivity?
He's also cut off access to Russia.
As both sides began targeting civilians, especially Putin's Russia, why allow yourself to be implicated in war crimes?

By that logic, we're all implicated in war crimes to a greater or lesser extent with our aid to Ukraine. It's not like we're maintaining a neutral position in the conflict.
I'm just wondering what his reasoning is. I doubt war crimes is a concern for him (bicbw). I find it hard to understand why he's unwilling (or again, unable?) to provide Starlink connectivity to Ukraine at what I assume would be a relatively minor cost.
@unclemark i’m pretty sure he has given it to them. For free at first and then wanted someone else to pick up the recurring costs. Poland has purchased many terminals and given them to Ukraine.

Yes. Ukraine has made heavy use of Starlink. I've not heard any reversal of that. Couldn't find it with a search either.

I'll need to look again but I sure do think I've seen reports of Zelenskyy asking for Starlink support from Musk.
Is it possible the terminals from Poland are a workaround to them being embargoed?
@aloha-hoosier @theartistfkaranger
This is what I was thinking about. Zelenskyy wants expanded access. They have it in Ukraine territory currently.

Thanks. I had not read that.
@unclemark probably not the best idea for a US company to overtly help with such strikes. Though at this point, I’d say kill them all. But I’m not in Corp Affairs of a large MNC.

Some of us are still pure at heart (or at least were after clicking on those links, thanks Brad).
