OPINION:
Orders have opened in New Zealand for the Starlink satellite broadband service, as provided by Elon Musk s SpaceX company, and pricing is the same as anywhere else in the world. For Kiwis it translates into a monthly charge of $159 along with $799 for Dishy, as the satellite transceiver is called, and $114 handling and shipping, direct to the customer.
The FCC s recent Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I auction came in below expectations and will provide money to fresh faces. President Biden will need to decide whether that s good or bad.
