It looks like Starlink's deal with the Government of Ontario has once again been terminated, this time I suspect permanently, as part of retaliatory measures by Ontario against the trade war launched by the Trump administration.

Whether it wants to or not, Canada is being pushed towards relying on sovereign Low Earth Orbit satellite services, or at the very least, LEO services not headquartered in the United States. #space #canada #telecommunications

Speaking of landlines;

"... the Commerce Commission is taking One NZ to court, alleging a failure to 'inform and protect' vulnerable customers by ensuring they're told how to call 111 during a power cut.

Telecommunications Commissioner Tristan Gilbertson said a number of New Zealanders still relied on landlines and had no alternative if they stopped working."
