My objection to steve song's analysis here: https://manypossibilities.net/2023/11/starlink-and-inequality/
A) Am I the only person left in the world that shares his wifi? A single dishy can easily serve dozens of people which lowers the cost per person enormously. Starlink has limited density per cell in the first place, so hanging a wired or wireless bridge off of it and covering a small town or merely multiple houses, not much of a problem. I know of refuge centers in the ukraine serving hundreds of people as one example. B) I keep seeing estimates of service life being 5 years, when at the moment I see it being 10 or more. -- Oct 30: https://netdevconf.info/0x17/news/the-maestro-and-the-music-bof.html Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos _______________________________________________ Starlink mailing list Starlink@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/starlink
