Dave had a rtalk about Starlink at Wireless Battlemesh in Paris in 2019, we had some beers:

The fact that he applied to starlink and they didn't hire him is depressing....

I don't think his personality was compatible with the corporate world.

What a stunning condemnation of the corporate world.

According to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen's memorial of him[1], he turned down offers from big companies to stay independent.

This is a sad day. There's no doubt that his efforts benefitted very many people, without their knowledge.
