I'm a pilot with engineering Ph.D., worked in both airline and tech industries. I can say there is absolutely zero chance, given the timing of the switch, that FAA had done any review to make the decision based on merits. I hope Verizon sue the hell out of it.
Not having seen either plan in detail, I can't say for certain that this is right or wrong technical choice.
Know enough about FAA caution and rule-based procedure to say that such a move would reek to high heaven.

Remember the day Elon bragged with an infantile giggle about putting USAID into the "wood chipper". just your bog standard sociopath marauding through our world.
The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world.
“People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

Is Trump helping China? Nepal pushed away China to take a $500 million US grant to build electricity lines and roads. US officials aimed to blunt China’s influence. Now it’s all frozen because of Trump’s foreign aid halt. Our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...
Nepal Took a Risk on a $500 Million U.S. Grant. It May Now Regret It.
President Trump’s freezing of foreign aid provides an opening for China to portray America as an unreliable partner.
