Because of its $600 satellite dish, the FCC rejects Starlink’s petition for rural broadband subsidies

Earlier this year, Starlink raised the price of its beginning kit and internet subscription. To get started, Starlink customers must now pay a $599 upfront cost for the satellite dish (named Dishy McFlatface) in addition to the $110 monthly premium for internet access. (Previously, the beginning set cost $499 and $99 each month.)
