I have always felt that Starlink is well suited to certain locations, and these would seem to qualify. Does Elon not have any satellites that fly over Nevada? Seems like for $77K you could buy them a $400 dish, pay someone to install it, and subsidize the monthly rate down to $30, for something like 70 years. Will we even use the Internet in the year 2100? Won’t it be quantum entanglement and neural implants? No cars, EV or otherwise, we’ll have transporter beams. OK, maybe we’ll transport over the Internet.
