Wouldn’t it be cheaper and more cost effective to cover those areas by 4G mobile phone network?
I think Starlink would give a realistic option to deploy those 4G base stations in rural areas—they need connectivity as well.

Other users have measured power consumption around 100W constant in operation. https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/l22f1u/power_cons... Power consumption could probably be a bit lower, but there are limits. Keep in mind that this is a phased array maintaining a relatively high bandwidth and high SNR link with the satellite. This is complicated microwave electronics design, a whole different ball game than old…
> Keep in mind that this is a phased array maintaining a relatively high bandwidth and high SNR link with the satellite. Is it transmitting anything to the satellite when you are not actually trying to send internet data?
I'm using Starlink right now. AMA. I'm in East Idaho. Currently my dish angles itself to the north. It rarely moves itself north/south, and slightly moves east/west throughout the day. I've read that right now it locks onto a single satellite, although they're adding multi-satellite support later. My speeds are inconsistent, and interestingly they start slow (around 60 Mbps) but after a couple seconds they'll get to…
We actually launched a service that provides you with a public IPv4 address and a /56 IPv6 block over WireGuard. It bypasses CGNAT and provides unblocked ports, including port 25. The cheapest plan starts at $8/month. Here's a link! https://hoppy.network

can by pass Chinese GFW reliably?

I know a few people from the Seattle area who do part time work there - unless you enjoy and agree with religious fundamentalists, die-hard MAGA anti maskers or people whose personality revolves around owning 35 guns, you might want to spend some time there first... Boise by comparison is much more secular and liberal than some of those areas.
As you specify people from Seattle, and these people went out of their way to point out that the people are religious, republicans who like guns, I have a feeling they aren't particularly open minded or tolerant people. Religious or secular, blue team or red team, basic politics shouldn't color your ability to get along with people. Fundamentally people are pretty similar, and American culture is quite homogeneous.
It's a bit difficult to feel all that neighborly or friendly with people adamant that they won't even wear a mask to help protect your own health.
And all the topics listed - religion, political affiliation, guns - are all infamous for causing strife. Even the most tolerant person can easily wish to simply minimize the chances of a conflict. Tensions over these matters also only seem to be intensifying, which further exacerbates the matter.

Looks pricey, whats the advantage of that vs setting up wireguard on your own vps for less money?
We are a managed service meaning you can sign up, download the WireGuard configuration, and forget about it. For a few extra dollars, you get reliability (we use BGP so we can failover to different datacenters), and clean IP addresses that aren't associated with spam or other cloud providers.
I wonder if I somehow can set up my Mikrotik routers to tunnel through you and transparently provide IPv6 for my whole LAN, that would be swell.

Hows the gimble, I read its auto stabilizing is that true? And how well built is the dish, do you think it can handle long periods of constant wind exposure of 15+ knots I've been contemplating putting one on my boat for use while at anchor. There is constant movement but its horrible
In fact a current starlink terminal (which has a 6-axis sensor and GPS receiver built into it) will turn itself off if it detects movement. The terminals for things like yachts are not available to the public yet, though I have no doubt they're in the works.

I have never heard of adding 'ies' onto the end of numbers to mean 'ms'. I'm (probably) not alone, fyi! What industry is that lexicon from?
That just means 30-39. Probably would be clearer if written 30's. The ms is implied, due to the context.
