Ontario Premier Doug Ford Wisely Rips Up Contract With Starlink He Never Should Have Signed In The First Place
Thu, Mar 6th 2025 05:18am - Karl Bode
...Ontario Premier Doug Ford has finally shredded his Province’s $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite broadband service. Like many politicians... Ford was apparently tricked into thinking that the expensive, capacity-constrained broadband service was a sort of magic bullet for rural broadband access.
But with King Trump’s mindless and destructive tariffs on Canadian goods wreaking havoc, Ford appears to have come to his senses and finally scrapped the deal:
[Block quote]
“This is not the outcome anyone wanted,” Ford said at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “We could have poured our efforts into making Canada and the U.S. the two richest, most successful, safest, most secure two countries on the planet. Unfortunately, one man — President Trump — has chosen chaos instead.”
[End block quote]
Trump, of course, has no idea how anything actually works. He implemented his tariffs because it’s the kind of ignorant mafia-style bullying he’s used to from his years in NYC real estate fraud. Use whatever leverage you can find to threaten immense harm to your exploitation target, then giggle as they sheepishly approach you, hat in hand... (see: U.S. media companies)...
Canadians, quite correctly, have instead responded by telling King Dingus to go fuck himself.](https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/114/118/516/165/009/354/original/28f56585b9f395bf.png "Headline and text from article(edited for length):

" #Musk & #Starlink could draw much more funding under the new rules. Under... existing restrictions, states can only fund alternatives to fiber, such as #satellite, in places where laying fiber cables isn’t cost-effective or feasible... [Musk] could rake in... $10 to $20 billion if Lutnick’s changes are accepted"

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick criticized the Biden administration's handling of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program in a statement yesterday. Lutnick said that "because of the prior Administration's woke mandates, favoritism towards certain technologies, and burdensome regulations, the program has not connected a single person to the Internet and is in dire need of a readjustment.""

｢ What we’re observing is a giant uncontrolled experiment in atmospheric chemistry. The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more ｣

What if you want to control a vehicle that’s hundreds of kilometers away, or even on the other side of the planet? Cellular is an option, but is obviously limited by available infrastructure — good luck getting a cell signal in the middle of the ocean.

![Modern remote control (RC) radios are capable of incredible range, but they’re still only made for line-of-sight use. But what if you could beam your commands down from space?
That’s what [Thingify] was looking to test when they put together an experimental RC boat using a Starlink Mini for communications. Physically, there was no question it would work on the boat. After all, it was small, light and power-efficient enough.
The downside? Starlink is a fairly expensive proposition; you’d need to have a pretty specific mission in mind to justify the cost. The Mini receiver currently costs $599 USD (though it occasionally goes on sale), and you’ll need at least a $50 per month plan to go with it. While this puts it out of the price range for recreational RC, [Thingify] notes that it’s not a bad deal if you’re looking to explore uncharted territory.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/092/809/711/140/631/original/9e4cb0f46f9a54c5.jpeg "Modern remote control (RC) radios are capable of incredible range, but they’re still only made for line-of-sight use.

But would the network connection be up to the task of controlling the vehicle in real-time?
During early ground testing, the Mini version of the Starlink receiver worked very well. Despite being roughly 1/4 the size of its predecessor, the smaller unit met or exceeded its performance during benchmarks on bandwidth, latency and signal strength. As expected, it also drew far less power: the Mini’s power consumption peaked at around 33 watts, compared to the monstrous 180 W for the larger receiver.
On the water, there was even more good news. The bandwidth was more than enough to run a high-resolution video feedback to the command center. At the same time, the boat moved autonomously between waypoints, and when [Thingify] switched over to manual control, the latency was low enough not to be a problem. “We wouldn’t recommend manually piloting a high-speed aircraft over Starlink, but for a boat that’s cruising along at 4 km/h, the lag didn’t even come into play.”](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/092/811/040/659/614/original/c92e0ce273ebda10.png "[ImageSource: Thingify]
