Comment on SpaceX Might Have Lost 200+ Starlink Satellites In Just 2 Months Shows Data
CoderKat@lemm.ee 1 year agoI agree for many definitions of rural, but I don’t know if you have an idea on just how remote rural can mean. Try looking around northern Ontario in Google maps if you’ve never done it before. It’s fascinating. So many tiny towns that are only reachable by boat or plane. They’re not islands, but they might as well be, with how isolated they are.

Satellite internet has existed for some time now for those areas. I wonder if star link is really worse than those alternatives, or if people just love to hate Musk.
