Quote from: Josh on May 19, 2024, 21:49:56Looking at these comments makes you wonder if they have any idea just how revolutionary this entire concept of globally available commercial internet is.Well about the tracking... You will not like the answer.
Think about it. For $400 monthly, you can have your own, fully mobile internet without having a government or other organization tracking, monitoring, or restricting what you research, share, or post.
If you work a remote job. You can now work from anywhere in the world with stable, high-speed internet.
Building a constellation of satellites like this is not easy or cheap. Still, at $400 monthly for this, it's a steal.

Quote from: Damon on May 19, 2024, 21:57:45So I bought a satellite antenae for 1k$. Cad. Then every few months he increases the price, now doubling it!!! This guy is a total grifter POS. Rope people in with promises of affordable Internet then once we have paid for the equipment jack the price up.Against the background of the subscription fee, the price of the equipment does not matter. The lamentations of ordinary people do not bother anyone (you are simply not part of the target group, are too poor to bear such expenses or are not able to get sufficient benefit from using the new subscription fee, which means your business strategy was wrong from the beginning), because. this group was never really planned as a commercial enterprise. so that Musk doesn't lie there. This is a geopolitical weapon developed jointly with the CIA/Pentagon for military purposes at a new level of weapons control. And this thing naturally works only in backward countries that are not able to jam this technology and are capable of carrying out acts of retaliation for work on their territory. Musk has practically lost control of this system, because... control over it passed to the Pentagon.
