Musk admits slowing Starlink in Ukraine, saying its military broke the rules
Ukraine's military satellite network, Starshield, ran at sharply reduced speeds from 14 October, and President Zelenskyy said on Saturday that speeds were back to normal. Elon Musk, who owns Starlink through SpaceX, wrote on X that Ukraine's military broke its terms by using it for drone strikes, and that a loophole closed last week. Eutelsat, France's main rival, has about 600 satellites against Starlink's 10,000-plus.
