Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million
marsokod@lemmy.world 1 year agoIf you have fiber, it’s unlikely you will benefit from something like Starling. Transfer data wirelessly through a constellation of satellites will have running costs much higher than just having a fibre. That is unless you have to dog a trench or run a fibre on mast for km for just one customer, which is where Starling starts making more sense.
Starling is for rural customers, mobile customers, and possibly an option to counter monopoly abuse by some Telco companies. But if you are in a city with fibre, then do use the fibre, that’s your better option.

Is starling like an interstellar zergling or something?

It’s a type of bird.

I actually would not be surprised if SpaceX starts using Starling for one of their thrusters in the future. I’ll keep the typo.
