@communitynets.bsky.socialHere's the podcast I did with @sportshotchris.bsky.social and @karlbode.com earlier this week, where we were UNBUFFERED as the title sugests, but where @freepress.bsky.social and I were also un-tagged in this initial post. 😄
Show PostGood article by Karl but SpaceX's Ohio BEAD take has gone up since Tom Reid did his report. It's now $67 million, not $52 million. 48% of OH's 83K BEAD locations are now being offered StarLink or nothing (with more to come in the new "supplemental" round, I'm sure).
Show PostA big chunk of the StarLink locations are in southeast OH counties that have hills and tree cover everywhere.
Show PostThe shortlist is the argument. "Community-owned" isn't sentiment — it's a different answer to who the network is accountable to when a line goes down in a valley with forty customers on it. Scale never fixed that part. Ownership does.
Show Post"The fiber is the foundation. But it’s the privacy pods, the telehealth appointments, the evening hours, the court access, the recovery calls that can finally be made in confidence that is the real life-changing point of it all." @communitynets.bsky.social communitynetworks.org/content/beyo...
