> Remember this is a global service

International service. Maybe they are aiming to be a global one, but not there yet. Starlink is not available anywhere in Africa nor Asia, two of the most populous continents in the world, together accounting for more than 50% of the total population.

I assume that the number of people willing to pay $50-100 per month there is not that high, though


If the minimum price you can pay for Starlink is $50 and they think of themselves as a "global service", then do I have news for them...


$50 a month shared by a whole village. Not so bad.


There have been anecdotal reports of some people taking their RV dishes to places like the Philippines and having it work.
