Yes, but the Brexit referendum was only 1 month before SoftBank acquired Arm Holdings. The deal was probably already in progress, and finalised before the UK had any real policies about Brexit, so EU requirements would have been reasonable if decided ahed of time. But the timing may also explain the lack of any national security focused requirement (general confusion).
All 30-50k satellites? SpaceX and Amazon are sending stuff up now. I expect these numbers to multiply quickly. And not just with US satellites. China and other nations might just send similar numbers up
Is there any expectation that a local in Africa or sea would be able to afford starlink rates? I haven't seen pricing information yet, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case.
In addition to the other comment: plenty of games are, or at least used to be, available exclusively through steam. Steam doesn't pay for exclusivity, but it still exists
True but that is not a FAULT of steam that is simply the developer / publisher deciding for themselves that is the best place to put it. When I think exclusivity with platforms I only have fault when it's the platform buying that exclusivity ... free choice is free choice.
