Starlink is wonderful for many reasons.

It allows technical folk to live wherever they’d like as long as they’re working remotely.

The mobile applications, particularly in the case of airline aircraft, have also been compelling and worth a lot of money to SpaceX.

Starlink has also brought broadband Internet to a vast number of people that would not have had it otherwise. This will boost the worldwide economy by an enormous amount.

I don't think rurp was saying there is no market, just that there was no obvious realistic TAM worth 1.6 trillion (going by the amount given by the S-1). How many people living remotely in an area with no fibre do you really expect there to be?

In the future, nobody will have to work (thanks AI!) and we'll all be digital nomads roaming the earth living off of 0DTE option gainz and UBI. /s

The owner of starlink is planning to be the only remaining capitalist. UBI is not for the US, a return to indentured servitude is.

The nice thing about there only being one capitalist is that it’ll be easy for the rest of us to deal with him.

You folks are both mentally ill, and extremely misinformed.

One might say brainwashed…

Turns out a simple water cooler technology is enough. We are all back to office because of efficiency.

[Lomlioto]

Starlink only has 10 Million customers, too expensive for most countries already.

Starlink brought internet to a lot of people who had it before already but made it easier for them.

Its still quite a interesting technology, given, but for the fact that he destroys potentially our atmosphere, has control over war critical tech, can do survailance and wants to send out A Lot MORE into our space, its a net negative for at least 7-8 BILLION people while 10 Millionen people benefit from it.

And they even increased the price just a few weeks back...

[Recurecur]

You’re misconstruing the situation. Only 10 million subscribers means a vast growth opportunity.

I think there’s easily potential for a billion subscribers eventually.
