Crazy how America is just destroying its own status as a hegemony, opening the way for China to take that role.

And Poland and Germany are paying for the active starlink service in Ukraine. So them threatening a shut down would be a breach of contract with those two countries.

Business model 101, provide a free service and hook them on it then charge. As an example, when Apple introduced iCloud storage. They provided it for free, got the customers to depend on the storage…then they introduced pricing.
