I know there are a huge number of people, unserved currently except for
geo-sat, will love this, even if it's 20mb/s.

I think Starlink is probably going to work very well for what it's
supposed to do, but at this point, I don't think most people really
understand what it is. There's too much hype around it that's giving
people unrealistic expectations... kind of like 5G.

Yeah but marketing people are dumb in every company. I don't
underestimate their engineers, but I do believe the people selling
it will be prone to overstating what it does.
I think people keep assuming things like "20Gbps per satellite x
12,000 satellites = eleventy skillion yottabits"
Anybody who's ever installed WiFi ought to understand that an AP
that can theoretically do 1.2gbps doesn't actually do 1.2gbps, and
putting 12,000 of them in a building wouldn't let you multiply
capacity * 12,000.
IMO it will be better than existing satellite systems, but it will
not be a panacea, and fixed wireless will absolutely still be
competitive with it. ....and of course it won't replace cable or
fiber.

People smart enough to land a buck rogers rocket on its tail
feathers. I would not underestimate them. I am still hopeful
that there are issues...

If the top is relatively slick, and it's almost always tilted,
maybe they just need to make a thin layer of water to get it to
slide off?

Found this interesting tidbit I didnt know about
*Snow Melt Mode*
Deployed basic Snow Melt Mode, during which Starlink produces
additional heat to mitigate signal attenuation caused by snow
build-up on the face of the user terminal.
