    ATC seems like a great place to have redundancy with a starlink dish on the roof.

      Ah yes let’s make our entire infrastructure depend on a company controlled by a single person.

        As a backup for when ground communications are cut? As opposed to having no backup in that situation? Yeah, maybe we should, no matter who controls the company.

          Right, a dependency. Those aren’t the only choices.

            What is your choice? I personally can't think of a better backup than high-bandwidth satellite communications.
