Thanks Tom...That is exactly what I thought. It will be interesting to see how well the 5 figure KVH & Intellian domes sell in a few years. Musk's antenna is a 12" phased array. Like a pizza plate - only has to be pointed in a general direction.SpaceX is literally putting up thousands of Starlink satellites. They are pretty small; about the size of a washing machine. The plan is to provide seamless high speed communications across the globe within the cost point of current internet connections. SpaceX is in direct competition with OneWeb who are also launching many small satellites for the same purpose which is good to keep costs competitive. There are foreign entities that are beginning to do the same thing. This is a rendering of a typical bus with 60 Starlink spacecraft on it. So, I wouldn't get too carried away in spending a lot of money on Sat dishes and the like as there is an evolution coming that will enable seamless worldwide high speed data.
