How will SpaceX’s Starlink increase the trend to work-from-home or do remote work?

If you can develop software, or write your blog, from a remote island, at the edge of a (dormant) volcano (aka: extreme remoters), then why not? Or from any rural farmland area of the country.

Just video call into your daily Zoom Standup Meeting.

How’s the latency of it?



Its incredible... on a clear day 25-35 ms. Even on less-than-stellar weather days, 100-150 ms.

Data throughput is fantastic. 15-50 mbps upstream, 50-200 mbps downstream already.
