I'm pretty familiar with the technology. What is the draw in a fairly advanced network area? I understand wanting the service in mid-Africa, but why in the US?

Cause some of us live in the middle of nowhere.

Fiber = no
DSL = no
Cable = no
Dial up = no

ViaSat and Hughesnet are painful as they are 22,000 miles in space in a geosynchronous orbit.
500ms latency and one or two spacecraft.

Starlink is 300 miles and over 100 spacecraft.

Less latency and more speed.

That was the answer I expected, but I'll wait to spend some money on the IPO. It will be interesting to see what the market is CONUS.

Our community just paid some reasonably big money to get fiber laid.

Does that mean you'll be posting less? Asking for a friend.

I hope for that kind of money the fiber got to snort coke off the hooker's ass, too.
