Biden administration deploys Starlink systems in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene

The Biden administration has deployed dozens of Starlink satellite systems in North Carolina to provide high-speed internet access following Hurricane Helene. Over 100 additional systems are on the way to support recovery efforts. Former President Donald Trump claimed he spoke with Elon Musk about setting up Starlink, stating the systems had not yet been deployed. The White House clarified that the arrangements were already in place before Trump's comments. Hurricane Helene has caused significant destruction across the Southeast, resulting in over 100 fatalities and extensive communication outages in affected areas. Starlink, a unit of SpaceX, is the only global high-bandwidth internet provider.
