9:33 I don't know how much has been spent on whatever they started working on, but that fat amount of money is allocated, not spent. Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner, said earlier this year (on X): "Mostly, the $42.45B is just sitting there. Not even one shovel's worth of dirt has been turned." Their only (infuriatingly lame) excuse is that they're supposed to get everything done by 2030.
By the way, the FCC rejected SpaceX's bid for internet connectivity, claiming:
«“Starlink’s technology has real promise,” continued Chairwoman Rosenworcel. “But the question before us was whether to publicly subsidize its still developing technology for consumer broadband—which requires that users purchase a $600 dish—with nearly $900 million in universal service funds until 2032.”»
In reality, Starlink is capable to send dishes to people in just a few days, while offering very competitive internet speeds, and the government/FCC wants to wait until 2030 for something/anything to happen. By that time, Starlink will likely offer gigabit. Crazy.
