Really Starlink should be absorbed into and ran by the UN. We only have so much LEO to use, one company is bound to become a monopoly and LEO is the world's not any nation's property.
The UN has no teeth by design and there's a lot of money to be made privately, what makes you think it would happen?
pipe dream
Fuck the UN.
Seriously - when you choose a country with vile fundamental human rights abuses as the head of the human rights commission...
Perhaps not the UN, but I agree that I am uncomfortable with Elon Musk at the helm. I'd prefer to see an international non-profit take control. Even just a regular boring board of directors, at least then it would be the devil that we know.
