Massive Government fraud, waste and abuse; all in one go. Well done Mr. Musk.

Remember quarterly taxes are due this week.

It's extremely likely that Starlink will meet the requirements of the 100 Mbps tier of RDOF and thus it was improper for the FCC to rescind their funding. The map problems don't really impact Starlink since it serves the entire US and any subsidies they get would likely be passed on to all customers (as slightly lower prices) rather than allocated to specific locations.

This is all obsolete anyway since RDOF's problems have been overshadowed by BEAD's newer and much bigger problems.

4.5 years later and all the links to the previous parts of the series are dead. These are all internal links to their own site.

Now obviously my tiny blog of <30 posts is much easier to maintain but I’ve kept my links working for 13+ years even while moving from Wordpress->SSG(Hugo)->Ghost->Wordpress (and soon back to SSG). Yes, I enjoy the tech behind my blog more than blogging sometimes.

Yak Shaving aside, it’s always been important to maintain permanent URLs [0]. I find it absurd that larger publications just don’t care. Link rot out to the internet is one thing, internal link rot is just embarrassing.
