I guess high frequency traders might be interested too then.
Aren't they all just across the street form wall street with exactly the same network ping as everyone else?
I saw something interesting the other day that I had previously missed: Starlink has the potential to provide lower latency around the globe than terrestrial fiber because light travels faster in vacuum than in optical silica fiber.

I wonder how the Starlink latency compares to the current microwave technologies used by high frequency trading firms. Any slight latency improvement is a game-changer in the HFT industry.
I'm really excited about this technology for selfish reasons. I love disconnecting and spending time in remote wildernesses. But paradoxically, being disconnected from technology gives me a lot of anxiety about technology. Working on devops roles over the last decade, I've almost never had a time when I can just forget about it all. Even when I'm not on call, and no matter how well I try to document things, I'm often…
Why not just use any of the number of existing satellite telecoms providers?

I thought I read somewhere that they cancelled the plans to use lasers and were going to use radio instead. But now I can't find anything about it.
Other countries censor other things, be it on political, commercial or "criminal" grounds.
Can someone explain a bit on these issues? Is the global internet going to be governed on US laws if Starlink becomes a thing?

That doesn't help if you're transmitting information from Shanghai Exchanges to London trying to gain first mover advantage.

Fiber optics of various types are usually on the order of 2 to 3 (closer to 2).
