    For instance: it could help remote villages or third world countries. But Starlink costs a pretty penny in western money those places lack. Otherwise they would already have traditional infrastructure.

      Do those remote villages even have the power to plug in a PC and starlink equipment?

      In college I helped make solar phone chargers for some villages in wartorn areas. They would walk days to charge their phones and battery banks, then walk back. Somehow they had cellular service, but the power lines to their village were ripped down during a conflict.

      There’s probably an exceedingly small population that is in a third world place with power, with devices that need internet, but are also without internet.
