List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2023 00:06:26 -0000 Some more interesting insights, three days ago: Last week, Starlink=20 introduced differential pricing for the hardware: An arm and a leg in=20 the three big cities - NZ$729 - and an apple and an egg - NZ$199 - in=20 "select areas of rural NZ" which declared a number of budding=20 metropolises here as "rural". Noel Leeming's price dropped to NZ$199,=20 however the kits then disappeared from their website altogether a day or=20 two later, just when we'd been scratching our head as to whether it was=20 even legal to price a hardware item based on customer location here. The=20 kits disappeared entirely - they didn't just show as out of stock. So=20 the other day, I popped into a country town store of Noel Leeming's, the=20 sole electronics chain that sold Starlink kits here, where a helpful=20 shop assistant showed me that they had numerous units on back order for=20 customers, and had in fact a total of 5000 units on order from SpaceX.=20 The shop assistant told me that their branch alone had sold hundreds. So=20 with them having around 75 stores around the country, we're probably=20 looking at a few 10,000 users here, maybe into the low 100,000 - my best=20 guesstimate. The difference in price is a clear indication of Starlink trying to=20 manage user density, as is an offer we received the other day of 50 GB=20 of priority "mobile and ocean" data (where have we seen this before?). --=20 **************************************************************** Dr. Ulrich Speidel School of Computer Science Room 303S.594 (City Campus) The University of Auckland u.speidel@auckland.ac.nz http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~ulrich/ ****************************************************************
