@jaredmauch Would you still have considered doing this today with Starlink now happening?

I stopped the video once the interviewer portion started but how does someone justify $125-150k investment to become an ISP? I'd maybe consider this if I owned a large chunk of land out there and planned to sell it and then sell the internet subscriptions to individuals who build there.

yes, because i have fiber and starlink is going to be great for people who are 1 home per square mile or less in Montana etc..

I'm also in a position to offer much higher speeds when I need to upgrade. Projections put that out after month 60 when I need more bandwidth.
