Reply to comment by Funny-Education2496 in Rural areas to get $759M in grants for high-speed internet by Vailhem

starlink is good for what it is, but it was never meant to be the champion of rural people. theres too many of em". we need to just run infrastructure to them and call it good for the next 50 years

I am pretty sure US Rural areas was going to be one of the major backbones (other is US defense, and third world countries) to Starlink's business case. Wealthier US customers dispersed, not urban dense, and line of sight to satellites (think ground space) are the best customers.
