World News See other World News Articles Title: Italy In Talks With SpaceX's Starlink For $1.6 Billion Telecom Security Deal President-elect Donald Trump hosted Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday. Following the meeting, Bloomberg reported that a deal between the Italian government and Elon Musk's SpaceX for Starlink satellite internet service could soon be finalized to provide secure telecommunications. Starlink and the Italian government have been in discussions since mid- 2023. According to the report, talks are ongoing and centered around a five-year contract valued at $1.6 billion. This contract would provide a broad range of top-level encryption for the government's telephone and internet services. Sources indicated that Italy's Intelligence Services and Defense Ministry have already signed a deal with SpaceX. Italy confirmed on Monday that discussions continue, stating that no deal has been reached. Officials added, "The talks with SpaceX are part of normal government business." On Saturday, Trump praised PM Meloni as a "fantastic woman" at the former president's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. "This is very exciting," Trump said, adding, "I'm here with a fantastic woman, the prime minister of Italy. She's really taken Europe by storm." Trump and Meloni were joined by two of his nominees: Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) for Secretary of State and Representative Mike Waltz (R- Florida) for National Security Advisor. Meloni's visit to Mar-a-Lago follows her dinner with Trump and Musk in December during the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Something about Meloni and Musk... Last month, Reuters reported that Italy plans to begin tests as early as January to see if Starlink internet will boost the rollout of high-speed internet in the country. Musk's SpaceX is the leader in rocket launches and satellite deployment, allowing the US to be many years ahead of China and Russia in the global space race. Starlink has more than 7,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, along with next-gen satellites being launched regularly for direct-to- cell satellite services. Poster Comment: PLEASE NOTE THE $1.6 BILLION AMOUNT VS THE $42 BILLION THAT BIDEN SPENT ON THE AMERICAN INTERNET THAT PROVIDED ZERO SERVICES TO ZERO AMERICANS. ======================================================================= My apologies to the late start. I did a lot of sleeping since the weekend. I found the right combination of taurine, magnesium and potassium to get more sleep. Dr Horse had relied on doctors and medical tests for mineral levels to no avail. I has resorted to 30 mg doses of melatonin to get some sleep but after a couple of years it no longer seemed to work. But recently, I discovered the need for more potassium, then taurine and then magnesium. Completely missed by doctors. This should turn my health around. I no longer take melatonin. No need. I eat less because I sleep more. I am still a young man so this should prolong my life.(Maybe nearly young!)
