Elon Musk Slams Verizon's Tech, Pushes for FAA to Adopt Starlink
The FAA is reportedly considering canceling a $2.4 billion Verizon
contract for air traffic control upgrades because Musk's team wants
SpaceX's Starlink business to handle it.
UPDATE: Elon Musk appears to be walking back his criticism of Verizon
since the carrier's technology has yet to be installed in the FAA
systems. In a follow-up tweet, the SpaceX CEO wrote: "Correction: the
ancient system [at the FAA] that is rapidly declining in capability
was made [by] L3Harris. The new system that is not yet operational is
from Verizon."
