    LEO isn’t a marketing ploy, it reduces the latency inherent to traditional satellite technology which is in a much higher orbit. Starlink has taken off because it provides a much better user experience compared to the old school satellite options.

    It sucks for astronomers but given governments and other companies are following their example, nobody is putting this genie back in the bottle.
