Reported Starlink and Starshield limits for Ukraine put usage rules in focus

Amid reports of restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services for Ukraine, Elon Musk said the US government owns and controls Starshield, with any speed or usage limits decided by the US military and ultimately the president. He said SpaceX’s commercial Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities, not offensive military action. One commentator argued the distinction is not clear-cut because Starshield also uses Starlink.
