Summary

Ukraine is in talks with SpaceX and the Pentagon to lift a speed cap on its military satellite communication service, according to ABC News. The Hindu reports the cap, imposed without warning early October 15, cuts the internet data connection when a terminal moves faster than 160 kph, a speed common for Ukrainian drones equipped with Starshield. This follows earlier reports that Ukraine was seeking clarification from the United States, SpaceX and NATO over Starlink limitations.
