Even in locales with high speed internet, I find myself sharing a wifi router with a dozen or more devices in classrooms or coffee shops. It is a bit disheartening seeing google docs and slack struggle to stay responsive, and in a college town with fiber internet. I’ve also tried collaborating on satellite internet on a farm and at the end of a microwave-tower-daisy-chain, where youtube works great if you’re the only one in town using the connection. I think people assume Starlink will bring high-speed internet to every corner of the globe, but that being the case, there’s more situations where groups of people will share a single downlink, and still every kilobyte counts.
