Canada's largest telecom is duking it out with SpaceX, insisting Starlink and Elon Musk shouldn't be eligible for millions in subsidies.

The article discusses Bell Canada's lobbying efforts against the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regarding subsidies for Starlink, a satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Bell Canada argues that Starlink should not qualify for subsidies due to its national pricing model, which they claim would unfairly benefit the company at the expense of other Canadian consumers. The proposed subsidy of $25 per month could lead to significant financial support for Starlink, which Bell contends is unnecessary given the company's pricing structure. The article also highlights broader tensions between Canada and Musk's businesses, particularly in light of Musk's association with President Donald Trump and recent actions taken by Canadian officials against his companies.
