I see this as the new standard being set re speed going forward 🤨
 
The cost would be a factor, don't see the benefit over a standard starlink dish for a community...


They're quoting $1,250.00 for install then $75,000 a month for the Starlink Service.


Their example is Unalaska which has a population of 4,184, working average family size of 2.4, there is about 1,700 properties. If EVERY household signed up, that would be a Starlink community gateway cost of $44.11 plus and install cost of $735 per household.

That doesn't even take into account the "last mile" connection cost to create a community ISP network...

So it begs the question...

Why don't the households just pay for a starlink dish on their house, would seem to be cheaper.
