Viasat Readies Faster Service, Despite SpaceX's Protest of Its F2 Satellite
With its F2 satellite finally entering service, Viasat will soon offer faster internet speeds to residential users. However, rival SpaceX continues to urge US regulators to block the satellite, arguing that it will interfere with its Starlink service. “Viasat once again shows total unmitigated disregard for Americans [who] rely on next-generation satellite systems,” SpaceX’s VP for satellite policy, David Goldman, told the Federal Communications Commission on Friday.
