Congrats to the @Starlink engineering & production teams on excellent work!
It was great to see everyone when I walked the production line in Redmond on Wednesday 🖤✨
Under President Biden, the FCC revoked an $885 million award that Starlink won to provide high-speed Internet to millions of Americans.
Back then, the agency claimed that it was revoking the award because it was unlikely that Starlink could provide 100/20 Mbps service to 40% of locations by year end 2025.
I dissented at the time, explaining that the FCC's decision could not be squared with any objective application of law, facts, or policy. The data clearly showed that Starlink was on track.
Now, new Ookla data shows that well over that percentage of Speedtest user on Starlink did meet the 100/20 service level by year end 2025.
The Biden era decision to revoke the award only slowed down efforts to bridge the digital divide and raised costs for doing so.

Seattle could immediately become one of the world's greatest cities if we embraced our tech industry 🛰️
@SpaceX just acquired xAI and to build the world's biggest industry ever ... Datacenters in Space
Where are they hiring? Seattle. Where is @Starcloud_ (launched the first datacenter in space) based? Seattle. Why? Because we have the best satellite engineers in the world (@Starlink has had an office here for a while) Oh and @blueorigin HQ? Seattle.
I grew up in Seattle and it's always been a place for the world's brightest tech talent. Sadly, this is changing ...
Seattle's citizens seem to embrace an anti-tech, 'everyone who is successful is bad' culture (we drove away Bezos). This is so lame and killing our golden goose that has built the amazing PNW 🌲
It is my mission for Seattle to do a 180. Talk about how we have the most cutting edge satellite tech in the world. How this will enable a new era for humanity.
Seattle needs to embrace its identity. We are building the future and should be proud of it 🌧️🗻🦾
@braden_burcham_ Based on Statcast data and park factor analyses from sources The Athletic & Baseball Savant, estimates suggest Cal would have around 70 home runs if his home games were at Yankee Stadium.
and ….Judge's 51 HRs would drop to around 44 if home games were at T-Mobile Park.
