Microsoft Hooked the Government on Its Products With Freebies. Could Elon Musk’s Starlink Be Doing the Same?

propublica.org/article/elon-mu

The tech billionaire and Trump adviser “donated” Starlink service to the White House. The move resembles a previous maneuver by Microsoft, which used “free” trials to lock in costly upgrades across the federal government.

"Germany finances Ukraine's use of Starlink alternative #Eutelsat"

kyivindependent.com/germany-fi

Remember 2022:

"… outages from the #Starlink internet systems had caused 'catastrophic' loss of communication for troops on the front lines in Ukraine's war with Russia"

"Ukrainian officials said connectivity issues started when Ukrainian soldiers liberated territory that was once Russian-controlled and moved past the front lines"

"#Germany is financing #Ukraine's access to a satellite internet network operated by French company Eutelsat, Reuters reported on April 4, citing Eutelsat CEO Eva Berneke.

The service serves as an alternative to tech billionaire #ElonMusk's #Starlink, which has played a key role in Ukraine's battlefield communications."

The news source mentions that Starlink is already used by the Faroese Defence ships: Tjaldrið and Brimil. Which is quite alarming, as that would give Elon Musk, and the US, complete access* to all the traffic from the ships that are going through Starlink satellites.

Smyril (passenger and cargo ship sailing from Denmark - Faroe Islands - Iceland) also has Starlink already, as well as many Faroese fishing ships.

«The #Quebec gov has decided to award new contract to install #ElonMusk’s #Starlink high-speed satellite #internet in courthouses in remote regions of the province. The deal comes after U.S. President Donald #Trump launched a #TariffWar with #Canada in early February, then paused it and finally instituted tariffs on #Canadian products, starting with #energy exports and #steel and #aluminum products in early March»

Je ne sais pas pourquoi qu'aucun autre journal ne parle de ça. La #CAQ aurait donné un contrat à #StarLink de #ElonMusk pour fournir l'accès
à internet pour des tribunaux dans les régions éloignées du #Québec. Je sais que #TheGazette est un journal incendiaire de #PostmediaNetwork alors je ne leur fais pas confiance. Est-ce que quelqu'un peut confirmer la véracité de l'article? Parce que c'est très décevant si c'est vrai.
