Agree 100%. My community is in the DC metro area and despite our relatively ex-urban setting, the corrupt local and state government has failed us. Subsidies badly misspent and monopoly policies that stifle land-based competition. Probably 25-30% (thousands of households) have no access to true broadband, just unreliable DSL from a bankrupt provider that once put our state representative on payroll. We're all clamoring for Starlink.
- reportingsjr 5y agoStarlink won't work well for the sort of sprawling exurbs you live in, fyi. It can't support a very high density of dishes due to RF bandwidth limitations. Starlink's key markets are fairly spread out rural areas, not infrastructure expensive exurbs and suburbs.
- cozzyd 5y agoExactly, terrestrial wireless (i.e. LTE) is the correct technological solution for anything denser than rural.
