How is star link moving the world forward. A small amount of rural people get faster internet is not a big deal. Satellite based internet already exists, it's not ground breaking. It's also at the expense of polluting the orobit around the earth. It's also just profit motivated, the intent isn't to make the world better, just sell more crap to more people

No. There is a potential user base of millions of people that have no access whatsoever to broadband. And you can’t be serious in trying to compare starlink with the awful current geostationary satellite Internet offering.
