Not sarcasm, actually disappointed. Don’t get me wrong. I think they absolutely are doing stunning work. Their progress has been amazing, and I am a huge fan.

Not sarcasm, actually disappointed. Don’t get me wrong. I think they absolutely are doing stunning work. Their progress has been amazing, and I am a huge fan. I eagerly await everything that comes next from these companies. Hell, I would apply to work with them, if I thought there was a chance that they hired remote workers. I very much doubt that they need to offer such flexibility. Indeed, I am only disappointed because I have such high hope for using their system myself. This move seems to dilute their ability to serve the people that live in remote areas that need faster service. A mobile unit opens the door for urbanites to buy up the currently limited supply of bandwidth, whereas fixed ground stations with geofencing ensures rural use. Of course, I can see rugged dishes being mounted on community-centric internet access vans that roam from remote village to village, providing service in areas where each village cannot afford its own dish. However, Starlink likely will not screen any of their customers on such merits. If they did, I would have expressed my own intent to use this bandwidth to host an outdoorsy software camp for kids on my farm/forest property.
