You’d be shocked how many areas outside major metro areas don’t have any broadband options. When we were buying a home recently, we had to carefully search Comcast and Wave’s websites to make sure the home had broadband service. Lots of homes only had satellite internet.
If you add RVs, boats, and planes, there’s an even bigger potential market for Starlink.
Worldwide? Definitely. Enough that also have the resources to pay? Not 100% sure, but I would imagine so. I think I read 500,000 Australians alone live in places with very little internet connection, or are currently served with Geo-Sync internet heavily subsidized by our government.

That’s my experience, yes. I wonder if there are enough such people to make Starlink profitable.

I’m in a major metro with no good internet options! I assume the cost of laying down fibre optic is too high due to the buildings, roads, etc.
Seriously considering Starlink instead of old copper.
