    Even Starlink is amazing, global internet connectivity is a game changer. It has some serious environmental concerns with deorbiting satellites causing a dramatic uptick in atmospheric aerosols, however.

      Yeah that’s the issue I have with it. Also that it’s so many satellites for a single private company. It would be even worse if Amazon or someone tries to compete. Ideally itwould be open like GPS.
