That’s the idea behind the phased antennas though. Once it has a clear line to the sky, the amount of sats and the motors inside apparently make it a set and forget type thing.
They’ll still need to run cat5 outside and have a router I assume, but who knows. Maybe they’ll do some sort of power over coax type deal so it’s an easy replacement of satellite installs now.
