I read the current Starlink system has a limitation where if you move outside of your assigned service "cell", you lose service. Guessing this is still the case.

Unfortunately this is partly due to FCC regulations.

Eh, really? It's due to needing ground station visibilty for the consumers as there's no intra satellite routing links, I thought and they didn't want to swamp the contention ratio whilst they were in beta? Why would the FCC be stopping this?

FCC only manages a small portion of the earths surface. They have no say whatsoever in my part of the world.
