SpaceX's Starlink Doubles the Price for Its Global Roaming Plan
The plan can act as a loophole for subscribers to access Starlink in regions where the satellite internet service is not officially available.
What ethos? They are entirely entitled to market the service in whatever way they like - and if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it.Restricting it regionwise goes against the grain of the ethos and is an arbitrary restriction.
It’s not the same though, starlink has to pay more to cover an area with hundreds of users than an area with a coupleBut, by its very nature, Starlink is supposed to be a global platform irrespective of where the user is based.
Restricting it regionwise goes against the grain of the ethos and is an arbitrary restriction. A bit like OTT TV broadcasters. (hence IPTV with VPNs flourish)
The satellites cover the whole globe and thus should not be a limiting factor.
