That’s not true even in California. Plenty of small town where the only alternative is line of sight wireless internet.
- jonathankoren 4y agoThat’s a rural town. I explicitly said “urban”.
- noncoml 4y agoOh.. I must have missed it. Sorry But yeah, I totally agree with your points
- lazide 4y agoStarlink has more than enough customers picking up rural users. Urban is not their primary (or secondary) use case.
- jonathankoren 4y agoI see that my comment has revealed that many people don't bother to read for comprehension before responding. My comment was that no matter how many rural customers you get, there just isn't enough people to make the per customer cost cheap, simply because the denominator is so small. Further more, Starlink et al. can never grow the pie (i.e. increase the denominator) because no one in an urban environment wants it. My god. This isn't even a controversial statement, yet... woosh!
