It costs at least $249 for the kit and then hundreds of dollars per month.
Clue: This is a sovereign power communication system. I doubt the FCC even has a permit on it because its primary purpose is to be an adjunct technology to Space X. I doubt this is classified and secure.
Starlinks competes with any major telecommunications business. High end customers are probably paying the price.
In conservation work I would have considered a service like this, but, Verizon was state of the art at the time and I always had coverage no matter where I went. My peer group loved Verizon and probably is still using it.
The thing about Starlink is that it is at the whims of Musk. If a subscriber says something insulting about the service or Musk, they can have their membership revoked. So, good luck with Elon’s temper tantrums because at the point where you need communication a bear can be staring at you.
Starlinks is also known to be interfering with scientific space investigations. Tell me this is “good practice.” Musk wants to explore the cosmos but he sticks a sovereign satellite system into orbit that interferes with such scientific data. I have a difficult time reconciling that. It makes no sense. It is outside the rhelm of good practices. Yet, all Musk has to do is load another rocket and send it skyward.
