It will be very niche because most people who spend time in nature seem to be either:

- Car campers, vanlifers or people living in a place permanently, which can just use the heavy Starlink version or go where there is LTE coverage

- Thru-hikers who hike every waking hour and want to be as light as possible and for which this system isn't even remotely light enough

- Casual weekend hikers for which it's going to be too expensive and also unnecessary since they'll have Internet access on Monday again.

It's only really a consideration for those who regularly go on multiweek trips or live long-term in the wilderness and move camp on a weekly/monthly frequency (rather than daily or never), and these people seem to be relatively rare.
