That's interesting, he's taking money from the government and giving free internet to a religious organization? Do all "churches" get free internet or just the ones he prefers? Taxpayers are OK subsidizing a specific church based on one person's personal whim???

So - difficult to interpret this comment.
An atheist might reasonably do the same for churches in his service area, for P.R. and Marketing reasons.
How is this different from Bob - who (say) the township pays to mow the lawn & plow the parking lot at the township hall - deciding that he'll mow the lawn & plow the parking lot for free at some local church?
I know this is a troll, but I'll respond anyway. If someone can prove he's discriminating against institutions on the basis of religion, he can be sued. Whether he takes money from the government or not doesn't matter in the slightest.
He picked a charity to help and this is your response?
He won a government contract to with specific deliverables. I'm not sure how he would have any responsibilities beyond those deliverables.
ah you're right, I had misinterpreted, thinking that he got a grant from the government for the public good, i missed that he just won a contract with them. my comment was based on my misconception that the government was subsidizing him as a public utility.
my comment is past the delete button so that's that.
