Sounds like it would be suitable for military bases and isolated infrastructure (like power plants).
- pests 3y agoWon't power plants already have connectivity though? They have to send the power somewhere in the end anyways.
- AtlasBarfed 3y agoAre we pretending all of Asia and Africa and Australia and South America are swimming in bandwidth?
- zamadatix 3y agoMilitary yes, power plants depends more on whether they really need multiple gigabits per second dedicated bandwidth with a million dollar receiving station or they are fine with the bandwidth provided by more traditional style terminals.
- a_bonobo 3y agowould also be very feasible for rich people's boats; these are often remote, and Starlink is already focused very much on that market. A lot of customers who'd easily have 75k flying around.
