  "account": "The Ukrainian government is seeking alternatives to Starlink, a US satellite internet service, due to repeated outages. HiSky, an Israeli company, is providing its satellite terminals to Ukraine, which are being used to control and navigate drones. The terminals are being used to overcome the limitations of Starlink, which has been experiencing disruptions, including a recent speed limit of 161 km/h that renders drones uncontrollable. HiSky's terminals are less powerful than Starlink's but are reliable and can operate over Russia.",
  "summary": "Ukraine wants to become more independent from US satellite operator SpaceX. Israeli company HiSky has a solution with some advantages - but one significant disadvantage.",
