I hope they offer this in the US (it wouldn’t cost them any extra satellites). I’m looking for a starlink alternative. Ideally they could terminate my connection over there and I’d get gdpr protection too.

There is already a Canadian company, Telesat, that’s been doing comms since 1969.

Unfortunately, like most things from Canada, there was never enough market for it to catch on. Maybe that will change now the US has unlocked the demand.
