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?
they are VERY proud of their business class, but I suspect you do get better service even during the most congested times. But no way in hell am I paying $500/mo.
