Of course there is no competition, it's impossible to run a business with such low price, nobody can have access to government funding, that's what i meant by "they kill the competition", and are now raising prices for everything because otherwise it's not profitable, and sudently, the product isn't interesting anymore because it is as expensive as with other actors, but they now got the infrastructure, paid by the GOV and can play with it as they please (satellite surveillance perhaps?, we seen that with ukraine)
It's not just starlink it's everything else, tesla/spacex, without government, it's a multi-part story
- brianwawok 4y agoI think it’s still very interesting even at $200. RVs, remote log cabins… get proper internet access from the remote parts of the US.
- dotnet00 4y agoHow have they killed the competition when none has existed yet? Internet megaconstellations aren't even 5 years old as a technology accessible to consumers, Starlink is the first mover in the space and the infrastructure isn't even complete yet. You also mention SpaceX, but they revived competition in the industry and still maintain the lowest cost and highest capability in the industry despite having a massive tech lead. The pricing increases have been stated as being to keep up with inflation and considering that inflation is currently at ~8.5%, a price increase of ~10% makes sense.
