Well my boss is in a cabin in the wilderness somewhere and his only access to the internet is via Starling, so that's great news!
I've heard of IP over pigeons, but using starlings is innovative.
A service outage meaning starlink is down globally. Anecdotally my starlink is using more power currently than usual. And when I first looked at the app it mentioned having gotten a new public IP address.
That is interesting info - don't phones typically use a lot of power when they're trying to find a tower?
Curious as to what could cause a global outage like that. The system consists of birds in the air and individual ground stations. There's no big choke point that I'm aware of that could cause the whole shebang to go dark. Am I missing something here?

3 years vs. a "near peer" level state actor, and it is still standing (well, not now, but you get the point) would beg to differ. In stark contrast to Viasat, which had their terminals bricked at the start of the conflict...
