It’s not a bait and switch but it’s 100% a PR stunt. If you have internet to order, you don’t need Starlink! Starlink is still profiting off sales of the equipment. The equipment needs to be delivered to a hurricane ravaged area in a timely manner for the offer to be meaningfully impactful.

Welcome! That level of misunderstanding always deserves a tip ;)

Uh, dafuq wut? It’s a private institution, states are governments. Not the same standard in the least.
