>more and more rural regions around the world are wired for fiber. Ecuador has the highest rate of cell phone ownership in the world, because they never built landlines and just went straight to wireless. Same with electricity in many African countries -no grid, straight to local solar. When I see comments like this it’s obvious you’re talking about West Virginia or Nevada as “rural regions around the world” Go spend time in the Canadian arctic, the Congo, Sudan, Bolivia, Mongolia, Remote Australia and dozens and dozens more if you want to see where starlink shines and is rapidly changing the world. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

ok but that just makes Starlink even more unprofitable, as now you're limited by the number of customers. The moment these people incorporate into a village, it becomes more profitable to build a fiber connection. Fiber will eventually get to Ecuador. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
