A lot of people in rural areas — close to major metro areas in the US — have terribly limited internet options. Traditional satellite internet is a decent option if it works on your property, but there’s a substantial latency. Fixed wireless requires line-of-sight to a tower, and cell providers don’t necessarily have the desire to get towers in these areas in a meaningful number. Starlink could bring connectivity to a lot of people.
