Why wouldn't it? The cost to SpaceX shouldn't be significantly different per location. Maybe competition would drive different prices in different areas?

- notahacker 4y agoSome markets are more likely to pay a $110 rate than others (and most of the cost is up front, not per user)
- bryanlarsen 4y agoI expect service to Africa will eventually be considerably cheaper than $110 per month. If the satellites are completely unused while flying over Africa, that's wasted potential. But before they can offer better prices they need to get the cost of the terminals down below the price they're selling them at. Alternatively they might offer kits to wire an entire village with a single terminal. That way the per terminal cost is still high but per user costs are low.
