Great use case examples. The marketing bit is "fits in a backpack" but really it's "fits in a base camp duffel/dry bag." People with a boat, sled, overlanding vehicle etc this is great

Not every backpack is used for backpacking! I use mine largely for the not-so-exciting trek to the office :)
The point was the use case is better for people who are not traveling by foot
Definitely! But Starlink doesn't market it towards those people. Their page simply says "fits a backpack".

In fact, they almost don't do any marketing at all, and they probably don't need to, given how far ahead their service is at this point.
