According to Rolling Stone, employees with the Federal Aviation Administration were told on Friday to “begin finding tens of millions of dollars for a Starlink deal,” after The Washington Post reported that the FAA may cancel its $2.

The FAA is testing Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service. That could raise a possible conflict of interest, experts say.

The Federal Aviation Administration is considering awarding Musk’s SpaceX a contract to provide Starlink internet service for its air traffic control communications network, possibly replacing a deal with Verizon, which was awarded a contract for the FAA’s internet technology in 2023, according to multiple reports.
