Starlink connectivity, offering 99 USD/month Me to Everyone (1:35 PM) Hi @Kelvin - sorry for having missed out the invitation to you. Please excuse! I did not recognise that you were not part of the mail exchange Me to Everyone (1:48 PM) Peter Mmbando (Internet Society): https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/starlink-set-up [10:49, 01/12/2020] Peter Mmbando (Internet Society): Hello Professor Josef , I saw something interesting about star link [11:15, 01/12/2020] Josef Noll: Thanks for sharing - that was my expectation - 99 USD/month - not really cheap, but when we can use it to feed a village, then it is absolutely affordable - Perhaps we need to "rephrase" the BasicInternet Model - building a community network and then sharing with schools/communities - and with "Internet Lite for free" for all.
