Starlink is a game changer for so many people - especially boaters that go long distances.

If the Standard Starlink is akin to Fixed Wireless, would this Mini be more like a portable hotspot? Such as will it have a built-in battery or must it be plugged in to external power? And if so, how much is the Mini going to draw? Will it be USB-C, DC, or AC? Could users make-do using a high-capacity battery bank or would a larger Power Station, possibly with PV panels, be required?

Monthly cost is rather high, and didn't they start a rate cap a while ago?

[Alucky]

Free on line college even for remote areas. Not just utube college in Arizona State University.

If all you need is a dish, what's the difference between the roaming and residential services? What prevents me from taking my "residential" dish to wherever I want?...

[MRSketch]

I really was hoping for more of a "technical deep dive"...

[goldfish]

You don't have to wash. It's Teflon.

[Daveyk]

Why does roaming, the reason for the mini, service cost so much more?

[muhammadyanwar]

I am waiting for starlink direct to cell in 2025

[arachano]

Why is the monthly subscription so ridiculously expensive???

[pensforgts]

[michaeltoia]
