I'm really surprised by this move. Starlink will need as many customers as it can get all over the world, and there're too many countries, even some in EU, who'd want to filter some content, or otherwise would ban terminals. Some are huge, like India. For those declaring that all traffic would go to the in-country land station could work. With that arrangement even China wouldn't totally out of the question. Making spacex free-speech outpost is nice and would create some contraband market for terminals, but...



I assume starlink was strategically important to the US from the start. The demand for satellite internet is probably exaggerated
