Comment on SpaceX Might Have Lost 200+ Starlink Satellites In Just 2 Months Shows Data

I'm on a farm 15km from town in hilly terrain.

And the country should fix this just like during electrification and running phone lines to everywhere.
In the US we paid for internet to be run everywhere (like we did for electricity and phone lines), then the phone companies just didn’t do it. Neither congress nor FTC followed through with any consequences for companies not doing this. So here we are in the US.

It's arguably less environmentally damaging to use starlink rather than to run a fixed fibre line to each rural property.
