USA's #Maxar isn't just cutting off classified satellite imagery to #Ukraine, but commercial unclassified services. How long until Starlink follows?
I'm not sure if the White House has thought thru the signal this is sending the world:
If you use American tech, cloud or telecoms, it can be turned off on a whim *while you're being invaded & bombed* to strongarm your country to sign a deal you don't want.
Imagine how many govts are currently frantically trying to migrate away from US services.
@TheresaReason the talk here is about Eutelsat – they say they think they could replace in Starlink in months, not years: https://www.ccn.com/news/business/eutelsat-french-rival-elon-musks-starlink-stock-surge/
