    Thank God. I plan to retire to an area with little to no internet support and had been planning to get Starlink (prior to Jan. 20th) when I did because there were no other plausible options.

    And the telsat constellation won’t require thousands of satellites in orbit like starlink and others that will clog up the sky and pollute the atmosphere as they burn up and get relaunched. Less than 150 sats for telsat if I remember correctly.

      Due to some of them having a higher orbit. It’s an interesting solution. Imagine how different Ukraine would be if they weren’t geo-restricted.
