I am a huge, huge critic of Starlink. I think it's disastrous for the beauty of the night skies, while solving a problem "the long way around" unnecessarily. I am currently developing a glamping resort in a relatively remote part of an island in the Philippines. We have very little light pollution, giving us a gorgeous night sky view that is so rare to enjoy for people anymore.

At our place you can see the Milky Way on a clear night, it's amazing. I don't want his ejaculation of junk all over our beautiful night sky view. For internet? Guess what else we have in this remote, not wealthy part of the Philippines? A cell tower, a few hills away from us, newly installed. I get better data speeds there than I do in downtown Shanghai. You don't need satellites for good internet. Just run a cable out to where people are and put a tower.
