I wonder if Starlink will accommodate people who need an IPv4 public IP, or a block of IPs, or reverse DNS so they can run a mailserver, or not to have certain ports blocked.
99% of people just want to use streaming video and social media, so the remaining 1% end up looking for solutions that cater to 1% of the market. That invites high prices without high profits for the providers, and everybody's unhappy. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Robert Andrews Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 2:43 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Undersea cable Then it's probably going to have to compete with a starlink solution?
