So is he not planning on offering Internet access then? Just transit to other Starlink stations? Presumably even that would allow somebody to offer a "real" ISP on top of this service with a ground station and then peering to the Internet. Still, paying for Starlink and then separately paying for a Starlink-Internet bridge isn't the greatest consumer experience.
- madengr 9y agoAssuming you have to pay for the latter. Similar to the way cellular companies give away free nanocells.
- taneq 9y agoWell presumably he'd have peering arrangements in a few key places, it just means that within the network your data would go relatively directly instead of satellite-hopping to a central server and then back out.
