There is absolutely no reason the US government shouldn’t be launching their own public satellite internet.
Look at North Korea. People get killed for smuggling in flash drives with western media into the country. We could be streaming it from uninterruptible satellites. We could be fighting the global information war on a level most other countries could only dream of.
On the domestic end, if we get Internet access to every corner of the country, it opens up remote work to every American. That could bring an incredible economic boost to impoverished rural areas.
We are losing the information war at home. Why would we wish our terrible misinformation on anyone else? They’d turn this into a news max global broadcast system.
Trump shut down Radio Free Asia. And Radio Free Europe, and Voice of America. I don’t think he cares about getting the message out there.
And as far as a public Internet? Have you met the US? We can’t deliver electricity or water without someone making a profit on each unit of energy or water delivered. It’s unamerican. Why would satellite Internet be any different?
Yeah amigo, I get that’d be amazing but you think the government would want highly educated populace here and everywhere? and with free access to all kinds of information?

Yeah right…
Sadly, I think it’s been established that access to the internet doesn’t make people more educated.
I would much rather see Europe doing it.
