It sounds like there gearing up for the maritime industry. Tankers, cargo ships and alike.

The little guy like me is going to left out. I was thinking when my wife retires going with Starlink. Now at 5K a month, no way! If they enforce the land use only policy. They will loose a small market that may make them charge their minds.

For what its worth, I was thinking of trying T-Mobile's home internet for the boat this May. No equipment cost, no contract and you can open it up and attach a external antenna. Yes, its cellular so it has it limitations. At $40 per month being phone customer sounds inviting. Beats 5K a month and no data restrictions.

The antenna will only cost me $400 and if it does work out I could use it for my Peplink.

For the next few years I just want to stay coastal. When my wife retires, than we will see whats out there for internet service.
