They say they're a viable alternative to starlink and ready to start - not sure how much true is that

I read a musk fan saying "but their terminals aren't made in a NATO country" - isn't the same for starlink?

Yeah, it’ll definitely be worse using a less complete constellation, but at least you can probably trust them to not fuck around and ruin military operations out of malicious political flailing, or whatever it is that Musk is doing constantly, so that’ll be a nice change of pace.

*=each "free" terminal is subject to a $500/month usage fee
