While that almost 1 billion grant did get cancelled, it looks like they actually did get another grant, but haven’t received the money yet. That’s for $733.5 million to provide subsidized services to 472,000 locations.
It sounds like SpaceX is trying to put requirements on the states though if they accept it, so we’ll see if this goes through or not.
If it does though, this would be the government giving them a lot of money.
Looks like I was outdated on the subsidy side.
