I believe you can get “business” Starlink and “RV” Starlink without waiting. I’m reading that biz isn’t any faster than residential and is mostly a way to jump the queue for a premium price. RV is “deprioritized” so during congested periods it gets slower speeds. 70-100 Mbps from 4/5G is perfectly fine, in my view. For people in urban markets, I don’t know that Starlink has major advantages. And the need for reasonably clear sky views will rule out many urban locations.
If Starlink ever goes public, that’ll be an interesting analysis. If a service’s sweet spots are just rural markets, mobile and maritime, how financially attractive is that? Enough to justify all the capex?
