I was recently scrolling around Google Maps in rural Alaska and was amazed at the number of rural "towns" scattered around the state. These towns are almost entirely populated by Native Alaskans and typically consist of a small gravel landing trip, a post office, a church, a general store, and a small grid of barracks-esque housing. No roads in or out. These towns typically have populations between 150 and 600 from the ones I've opened up the corresponding wiki article, with median incomes between 10K and 30K. I've wondered if the coming of Starlink and its competitors could be a boon for these rural communities. If a few precocious youth in these communities could get involved in some remote coding bootcamps and learn web or app dev, they could provide a compelling alternative to outsourcing to India. The time zone is only 1 hour off of mainland west coast, so syncing up with HQ is easier. The legal system is just the US system, so HR is easier. No language barrier.
