Yeah but I still haven't seen the receiver (or even a drawing of one) or the downlink stations that are supposed to required in order for the receivers to work. Those downlink stations have to be fairly close too, maybe something like cell towers in order for your receiver to function. And frankly I doubt we will see them installing downlinks in between Bonners Ferry and Kalispel for example, anytime soon.--------------------------------------------------

Where did anyone hear of “downlink stations” which would defeat the entire concept of thousands of lsats to provide service everywhere?

“With performance that far surpasses that of traditional satellite internet, and a global network unbounded by ground infrastructure limitations, Starlink will deliver high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable.”
