If you want to get attention, you can get it for free. I can place articles
with various press if there is something interesting to say. Did this all
through the evangelism of Open Source. All we need to do is write, sign,
and publish a statement. What they actually write is less relevant if they
publish a link to our statement.

Right now I am concerned that the Starlink latency and jitter is going to
be a problem even for remote controlling my ham station. The US Military is
interested in doing much more, which they have demonstrated, but I don't
see happening *at scale *without some technical work on the network. Being
able to say this isn't ready for the government's application would be an
attention-getter.

    Thanks
