Reply to comment by VintageChemistry in Starlink’s “Global Roaming” promises worldwide access for $200 a month by ethereal3xp

It’s fundamentally impossible they’ll be the #1 carried carrier globally. That’s due to physics. A wireless communication medium cannot be even competitive in comparison to a fibre optic communication medium so in high population density areas that fibre makes sense they’ll have low customer counts.
In rural areas though they could absolutely become the #1 ISP.

I disagree

Many people (after covid years).... are not going out as much

Even if they are. Half the time try to locate/leverage wifi network

My point is... not having the fastest cellular speed wont be a deal break for some. (As long as it is not prehistoric speed of 2g or 3g)
