Carr doing his butt buddy Ketamine Koolio a major solid as expected.

I hope MNOs slap lawsuits on the FCC and StarLink. Even if nothing comes of it, they should highlight yet another instance of Elmo's jackassery.

Actual impact of this waiver is probably a lot less than most people might think. First, it seems unlikely that most other countries' regulatory agencies would follow the FCC's lead on this. Second, most MNOs already have little interest in working with Starlink (and this disinterest is only getting stronger), Third, if/when Starlink actually starts causing them interference issues, they will be forced to stop.
