Phenomenal job SpaceX!!! I wonder when it will be integrated into Tesla cars.

He's a visionary. Many of his detractors have always been too short sighted to laugh at his ideas and projects since they are risk adverse and love staying in their comfort zone with already proven technology. People like musks are the very rare individuals who stand out from the hundreds of millions of average people since they are ready to take risk and invest huge sums of money in their dreams/projects with no guarantee of success. Where there is no market they create a need or demand for one. In short they create a whole new industry by themselves there are only a handful of such people globally. The rest are all talks and quick to talk down on others projects and how its a waste until they are proven wrong with time then they go silent and move on to the next target 🤣🤣. Lol

no one cares about this.

LOL! 1.5M people around the world that use it for internet access would say differently.

Stop being the usual completely selfish "Me..me..me..me" person in this world who doesn't give a sh*t about anything that doesn't impact them directly.

It does impact me. He overcharges for no better speed than optical undersea and forces people to buy two accounts for more than one location, rather than one account (buying instances of access, not access). That's like buying a museum access in one door, and he charges when you enter another door after going to lunch and returning from the side entrance. It was also supposed to be helpful and faster for connecting to opposite sides of the globe, but it's not, and he also wants to have a load of bydlo get access who only want to access short distances, which takes up resources of the network on distances that are already provisioned with decent latency.

What is wrong with you?

Starlink is for people in areas with limited/horrible internet access not for people with optical undersea cable access.

Do you think some person in a remote village in Africa, some research center in Antartica, or on a ship in the middle of the ocean is crying about it not matching undersea cable speed???

Again how come you can't put yourself in the shoes of others and you just project the usefulness of things in only how it directly affects you?

You think this woman isn't happy:

the masses do whatever they want. why is starlink sold to cities in the first place?

And I already said, if it helped extremely long distances like opposite sides of globe as they marketed, then people in cities might want it.

Urban dwellers with adequate internet access were not the target audience. If people find their country does not have adequate internet service in cities or the service is expensive then those people are just a bonus.

This was the goal:

Wrong. There was a lot of interest in how it could cut latency. This was dropped after it was later proven to not be better.

Read here how the starlink frauds cooperating with google, try to make it sound like it's cutting global interncontinental latency to 25ms.
