Musk says US government may be behind slowdown of Ukraine drone speeds

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorElon Musk says the U.S. government may be behind a slowdown in Starlink speeds for Ukrainian drones.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUkraine says access has improved, but it still faces speed limits that disrupt its battlefield missions.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAccess has improved, Hank. That is the headline, and I will not have it buried under the word slowdown.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorImproved from what, Vera? From a limit to a slightly nicer limit?

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSomebody turned a dial, and the man who owns the dial is pointing at Washington.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish. He said may be. Nobody said is.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMay be! The most dangerous two words in broadcasting, and you just used them as a comfort blanket.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the guy who runs the network says maybe the government throttled it, and the government's side is what, exactly?

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorUnclear. And I think unclear is a lovely place to start a conversation.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's a lovely place to start a cover-up. Today it's drone speeds, tomorrow your phone buffers during the season finale, and you'll blame the weather.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot the finale.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe have three anchors, zero documents, and one very confident panel. We have to go, but I assume nobody's volume got throttled.
