@avi the cynical part of me want to say yes, but there's more important challenges to reaching these places than the lack of wifi, so it hasn't really manifested, the far flung places as just as empty as ever I think.

@neauoire @avi Yeah, Starlink is a means to keep income rolling in while exploring far-flung places you were already motivated enough to tough it out to get to, IMO, it's not suddenly going to make Alaska be as populous as California. The cold, the sketchy roads, having to plan food/water supplies, etc. are still barriers to entry. Closer to home, I mean, jeez, in the Puget Sound boating groups, half the people in there are scared to be more than an hour from a diesel pump. You're probably fine.
