Musk’s Starlink is spreading on planes — but Ryanair says the math won’t work

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary rejected Starlink’s in-flight Wi-Fi, citing higher fuel use and low demand from budget passengers. Elon Musk and O’Leary clashed publicly as major long-haul airlines sign deals for faster satellite internet to attract premium travelers. The cost per aircraft can reach $170,000. Full-service carriers push Wi-Fi as essential, while low-cost rivals focus on keeping expenses down.

  • ASX Dividend Shares vs. Savings Deposit Rates: Weighing Investment Yields Amid Tax Changes
    May 26, 2026, 2:11 PM EDT. Following three interest rate hikes, the Federal Government's proposed capital gains tax (CGT) changes now include ASX shares, shifting focus toward dividend yields. Experts at Medallion Financial Group say higher CGT could make yield-oriented investments like ASX dividend shares and ETFs tracking the S&P/ASX 200 more attractive than growth assets. However, average dividend yields on ASX 200 shares have fallen below 3.5%, lagging behind savings deposit rates, which now exceed 5.5%. Banks like Westpac and ING offer conditional ongoing savings rates above 5.5%. Despite this, long-term investors may still prefer ASX dividend shares due to combined capital growth and yield, providing protection against inflation and tax impacts, unlike savings accounts that only offer yield.
