I'm talking about $1 per GB for satellite internet. In 2019. Or even today in 2024 I'd like to pay that kinda money for transit in sub Saharan Africa. We don't all live in Ashburn and Frankfurt. Some people are connected only via Intelsat and OneWeb As for starlink throttling. There's people doing multiple TB per month every month. Go try that on your residential Viasat, HughesNet or Eutelsat plan Transit is only expensive when you're small. What makes you think it's a big part of operational cost? Or something to base the retail price on? You likely spend more on power and staff In Europe, starlink buys virtual or real l2 transport circuits and carries traffic to Frankfurt. They use lasers to carry traffic too when they don't have ground stations like in Kazakhstan You can't afford to use Iridium to watch Netflix if you could even get enough bandwidth
