This comment seems to make a lot of assumptions about the scarcity of bandwidth for Starlink. If there's enough bandwidth for everyone, why would deprioritization be needed?
- neurostimulant 4y agoIIRC each satelite has ~20 gbps capacity, which might not be enough to serve locations with a dense number of subscribers such as big cities.
- gangstead 4y agoMaybe the scarcity is temporary? According to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink#Constellation_design_and_status https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink#Constellation_design_... SpaceX has launched 2091 satellites and has FCC approval to launch 12,000 and a has filed for 30,000 more after that.
