I stumbled upon Starlink not by virtue of its owner/operator but rather b/c a family acquaintance has started using it. So, I jumped over to "his" site to see what its all about, costs, etc. I 100% agree that, in general, it seems to be a solution in search of a problem. On a cruise with exorbitant wifi costs, ok maybe (but I anecdotally recall many of the cruise lines advertising free wifi as part of the cruise package). Out in the middle of nowhere, ok maybe (indeed, this is why family acquaintance has started using it). But, really? It seems to be of limited value in many cases where either cell phone (or femto cell) signal is strong and or there's "free" wifi. Obviously, this is just my opinion. It sounds like certain people need it in life threatening situations. But, again, I'm a pass.
