Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
Oderus@lemmy.world 9 months agoIt’s it really a privilege to live in a city? Sounds more like a choice than privilege. Your choice has consequences and the further you live from the other people, the more problems you’ll have with certain infrastructure like water, power, internet.

But I can build my own power and water infra. And I have. I can’t build my own connection to the internet, which I need to have in order to make money to do the rest of what it takes to live.

What’s your point?

That starlink solves the remaining piece of missing infra that a normal person needs, regardless of the choice to live in a city or not. Even if the CEO is a blight on our species.

Starlink only has a business as long as other ISP’s do nothing for rural homes.
Once they do, and they will, Starlink is dead.
