Starlink hardware is $299.
The monthly cost is over a $100 which I think is pretty high. A lot of boaters use it. A lot cheaper then other satcom systems.
Rumor that he’s going to offer a smart phone someday. You’ll start seeing Starlink antenna on cell towers.

But

I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon was donating free systems for the hurricane. He’s done that before. Setting up terminals all over the place for everyone to use for email ect.


BTW
The Feds had a $900 million contract with Starlink to bring high speed internet to rural areas. But Biden cancelled it cause he hates Elon.

Re: “President Trump says he is coordinating with Elon Musk to get Starlink set up for families in the southeast hit by the hurricane”
Sounds good, but doesn't StarLink require some pricey hardware on the customers' end?
