SCNR yep, which is what they are doing. ;-) there is some that they can do in terms of the ground station positioning, density, and connectivity.

With that, treating best effort subscribers as a (more) "real customer" backlog, it would be a good way to prioritize where to expand the constellation (i.e. where to add capacity). >>>>>> >>>>>> Gene >>>>>> ---------------------------------------------- >>>>>> Eugene Chang >>>>>> IEEE Senior Life Member >>>>>> eugene.chang@ieee.org >>>>>> 781-799-0233 (in Honolulu) >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>> On Sep 28, 2022, at 9:53 AM, Dotzero via Starlink wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>> I've been on the wait list for almost 10 months and just received an email that I can sign up for a "best efforts" offering. Seeing as they also indicated the estimated time for regular service is mid-2023, I decided to go with it (You don't lose your place on the wait list). You can also "pause" the best effort service so I don't really have anything to lose. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Has anyone had experience with this offering? Any input appreciated.
