After Internet throttling: US senators want answers about Starlink in Ukraine
Ukraine, among other things, relies on Elon Musk's satellite internet for drone defense - but it has recently been malfunctioning. Democratic senators are warming up for an investigation.
US Senators are demanding that SpaceX preserve documents related to the slowing of satellite internet services for Ukraine. The Ukrainian government had complained about speed restrictions on Starlink internet, which hindered their ability to use defense systems against Russian drones. The Senators, including Chris Coons, are seeking answers on who ordered the speed reduction and what limitations are currently in place.
They have given SpaceX until November 30 to confirm that no documents will be destroyed and to answer their questions. The inquiry comes after Elon Musk's company and the US government gave conflicting accounts of who was responsible for the slowdown.
