It's not gonna decline to zero.

There's just a really strong tendency for people all over the world to focus on their own experience. And you can actually reinforce this by zooming out too far. If you live in San Francisco, this seems like a pet use case and you can be like "What is it, 10% of the population?" But "the population" is quite the fucking denominator.

I mean, it's already happening and obviously Starlink has run the numbers. So I'm largely just reacting to the tone here.

No one is saying it will decline to zero.

But it will decline such that Starlink is likely to be more of a niche product similar to how satellite internet services are today.

Niche? Millions of airline and cruise passengers have been using Starlink. Industries, militaries and governments are Starlink customers. Millions of users in the rural areas. That’s some interesting definition of niche.

Are you really that ignorant?

		0.07% of internet users are on Starlink. By every definition that is niche.
