Starlink blocks access to its GPS alternative ahead of SpaceX IPO - Ars Technica
Overview
Starlink has disabled access to its location feature — a commercial alternative to GPS — shortly before SpaceX’s planned public offering. The shutdown appears to be a temporary service restriction and is unlikely to eliminate broader market interest in GPS alternatives. The move comes as SpaceX faces separate operational challenges with Starlink satellites breaking up, and it will likely draw extra investor and regulator attention to the reliability of Starlink services ahead of the IPO.
