Starlink Is Best for Rural Airports, Not So Much for Urban Ones, Cruz Says
BloombergTuesday, June 10, 2025 at 11:05:17 PM
Senator Ted Cruz is making the case that Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, is a better fit for rural airports struggling with connectivity, while urban airports should stick with faster, more reliable fiber-optic networks. He’s essentially arguing for a tailored approach—high-tech solutions where they’re needed most, rather than a one-size-fits-all rollout.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about internet speeds—it’s about infrastructure fairness. Rural airports often get left behind in tech upgrades, and Cruz’s stance highlights a practical divide. If policymakers take this seriously, it could mean better connectivity for remote areas without wasting resources on urban hubs that already have solid options. For travelers, it’s a reminder that not all airports (or their Wi-Fi) are created equal.
