[Starlink] starlink at sea

[Larry Press]

<$50k/month (for all their boats)

Do they have ten ships?

 >$150k/month with much better service

Is that for uncapped service from a GEO? What speeds do they get for that? Do GEO folks like Hughes offer SLAs to business customers?

Does SES offer marine connectivity?

Russian oligarchs will be early customers.

it all depends on what you are comparing it to. This isn't designed for a 30 ft
boat, but rather for commercial operations. SpaceX had talked about how this
replaces the earlier satellite services they have had on their boats that were
unreliable and cost >$150k/month with much better service listing for
<$50k/month (for all their boats)

This is designed to be an all-weather allways-on service, most boaters could
just use a standard starlink RV setup and put it out when they need it (taking
it down when the weather is poor)
