I’m liking where you’re going there.

If they can ever miniaturize the transceiver to be mobile phone sized, it will curb stomp terrestrial cellular service.

Even as it stands, Starlink could build its own 5g towers and use Starlink satellites for its backbone and not have to lay fiber. All they’d need is lease to build towers, no easements for cabling at all.

That was my interest as well. I live way out in the country where internet is spotty at best. This would help me and I suspect that the cost will drop rapidly once he has enough subscribers. I am on his list to call me when service is available.

A $500/entry price will be a non-starter for most...for underserved rural communities, this will be a boon.....

However this will not kill Comcast or Telecoms, they will just compete..... Expect lower prices.....
