Starlink is a new precedent for an affordable general public ISP using satellites.

  But how is it different as far as being irradiated?

    Starlink will have at least 700 satellites. And not only astronomers are unhappy. It's the most ridiculous way to provide an internet service anyway!

      But the number of satellites doesn't affect your ability to go somewhere without being irradiated. GPS and TV sats beam radio signals to most habitable parts of the planet already. If you're worried about "radio pollution" I don't see how Starlink makes a huge difference. Starlink won't cover the poles so maybe a bunker in Antarctica is an option.
