Sounds like it would be suitable for military bases and isolated infrastructure (like power plants).

would also be very feasible for rich people's boats; these are often remote, and Starlink is already focused very much on that market. A lot of customers who'd easily have 75k flying around.

Military yes, power plants depends more on whether they really need multiple gigabits per second dedicated bandwidth with a million dollar receiving station or they are fine with the bandwidth provided by more traditional style terminals.

Won't power plants already have connectivity though?

They have to send the power somewhere in the end anyways.

Are we pretending all of Asia and Africa and Australia and South America are swimming in bandwidth?
