Yeah, and if we did not abandon our traditional networks then there would not be such a strong market for STARMLINK.

A couple weeks ago I was way away from civilization deep in the mountains, and my buddy set up his Starlink for a project. I have a hard time believing traditional networks would have made that possible? We are about to use it for the ocean in a few weeks as well…

But I also would take deep space study over the convenience of internet anywhere. I’m just not sure traditional networks would have covered those areas?

You could receive normal satellite internet the same way, the advantage starlink brings is that it’s much lower latency than geosynchronous satellites and they’re selling it for much less and more bandwith.
