Starlink claimed areas it doesn't serve; Verizon data undermined by
network limits.

By Jon Brodkin

Multiple Internet service providers have submitted false availability
data to the federal government for a map that will be used to determine
which parts of the US get access to a $42.45 billion broadband fund. We
wrote about Comcast's false coverage claims last week, and this article
will detail false or at least questionable coverage claims from SpaceX's
Starlink division and the wireless home Internet divisions at Verizon
and T-Mobile.

Some false claims are easy to prove by looking at the providers'
availability websites. SpaceX claims to serve virtually the whole US on
the Federal Communications Commission map, but Starlink's map shows the
service has a waitlist in huge portions of the country.
