    I haven’t read about this, but I suspect this is going to be more useful for low population density areas. There is usually a connection cap that will be far too low for any kind of urban use. That’s okay, though. It’s usually easier and cheaper per user to have ground-based installations in an urban setting. This could be a great option to extend coverage in rural zones.

      Same for Starlink. There’s only so much bandwidth even a very modern antenna can have. And something flying is going to be power-limited as well.
