They say they’re a viable alternative to starlink and ready to start - not sure how much true is that

I read a musk fan saying “but their terminals aren’t made in a NATO country” - isn’t the same for starlink?

    The Americans are definitely going to cut off StarLink, we don’t have any option even if OneWeb isn’t fully ready.

      Yeah, it’ll definitely be worse using a less complete constellation, but at least you can probably trust them to not fuck around and ruin military operations out of malicious political flailing, or whatever it is that Musk is doing constantly, so that’ll be a nice change of pace.

        or that you won’t get baited&switched with the “we will give thousands of completely free* terminals”

        *=each “free” terminal is subject to a $500/month usage fee

        …malicious political flailing, or whatever it is that Musk is doing constantly…

        The term you’re looking for is ketamine-fueled machiavellianism.
