It is press release, Starry CEO Chet Kanojia (who you might recall from his efforts with Aereo) promises that the company will be careful to operate a neutral network in the wake of the FCC's recent repeal of net neutrality rules. "We take the privilege of being in your home and being your family’s ISP very seriously," states the CEO. "From the way our customer care and installation team interacts with you, to our pledge to never throttle, block, or pick and choose what content you access, when we pledged to build a better internet, we meant it." Starry service uses "pre-standard 5G, point-to-multipoint fixed wireless technology" utilizing millimeter wave spectrum to transmit data via the company's "proprietary active phased array technology" at distances up to 2 kilometers. From there, transmissions will travel from the company’s "Starry Beam" base station to the company’s "Starry Point" receivers installed on the roofs of homes or multiple dwelling units (apartments, condos, townhomes). Said receiver then connects to a “Starry Station” Wi-Fi hub to reach the end user. Those interested can find a little more detail over at the company's website <https://starry.com/internet>.
