He makes some good points.
A) Am I the only person left in the world that shares his wifi?
My neighbors and I do.
A single dishy can easily serve dozens of people
But that’s a different question than whether Starlink’s contract _allows_ you
to share it. The contract does not.
So I think saying that it’s a good thing because it’s good when you don’t
follow the rules is… well, perhaps a little too much of a stretch for a general
argument.
I know of refuge centers in the ukraine serving hundreds of people as one
example.
And if Musk weren’t cutting Starlink connectivity for Ukrainian defensive uses,
those refugee centers wouldn’t have so many people in them. And, more to the
point, Ukrainian graveyards wouldn’t have so many people in them.
As always, the Musk-vs.-Tesla and Musk-vs.-SpaceX conflicts are tricky to sort
out, and may not yield any more broadly-applicable principles.
For info, some times these refuge points are called 'invincibility
points', I think.
They are not the only ways in which starlink is used in Ukraine.
I think the invincibility points are largely humanitarian.
They are used intermittently, though. It keeps changing since 2 years.
Fiber comes up and down, cellular base stations come up and down,
starlink comes up and down.
