I guess you missed this recent news story: Starlink v2 reached the brightness reduction target recommended by astronomers So we can now have both. Africans can have their satellite internet, and astronomers can see their dwarf stars. Both should be satisfied so what are you so bitter about?

> Africans can have their satellite Well I'm not sure about that. There are 3 African countries where Starlink is available (unlike for instance every single country in the EU where both fiber and 4/5G coverage is quite decent already). Also even in these 3 countries it's still prohibitively expensive for the majority of the population.

  Take it up with barelyauser, I only mention Africa because they brought it up.

  For certain segments of users. Especially with unlimited data, starlink is cheaper once you pass certain data thresholds

    In certain countries, yes. Still not very affordable to a median Nigerian (one of the three African countries)
