How will cheap, ubiquitious satellite Internet access though Starlink and its competitors affect the Internet? Will it put pressure on traditional ISPs to compete? Will it support Internet freedom?

There is no way it can compete in Europe it's already dirt cheep. And now with 5g can even right that for rural areas ?
Julian Green
You have a point, if Europe continues to try to regulate internet access it will start looking more attractive.
Thomas Bennett
Well of they want to sell the product in Europe it will still be regulated. So even that is not really a puls

>cheap, ubiquitious satellite Internet access though Starlink
That's not what starlink is though, iirc it's pretty much sat internet 2.0, high latency, low down and upload rates and very limited amount of connections at the same time, any old DSL blows it out of the water.
Blake Bell
Satelite internet will always be high latency, the satelite is just too far away and the speed of light is a constant.

At best it just means more retarded people on the internet because of easier accessibility. At worst it just means yet another shitty satellite internet provider.
Nathan Gutierrez
But it is exactly what Starlink is supposed to be. They're not interested in the old 500+ ms latency for their internet. They're interested in the sub 20-30 ms latency from home to satellite and sub 70 ms across the global connection(That's faster than current copper/fiber implementation). They are planning on offering Gigabit at competitive pricing for wider market. For the US market, its going to be a win for rural/cities with very little competitions.
