    Hey, look, I can instantly downvote you too even though downvotes mean nothing on this platform, and it just antagonists any hope of conversation! Woo. Here’s where you say you didn’t do that.

    My entire point is that starlink is not more cost effective, it’s paid for by American subsidies and investors. It’s a money losing scheme. But laying infrastructure instead of burning the money up with infinite rockets full of infinite cell towers forever gives you a better return on the money spent as you can continue using that infrastructure for hundreds more years
