As we continue to explore the now "ancient" technology of cellular modems I am trying to spin up on the future of mobile data communication. SpaceX is not releasing much information about Starlink but some very smart people are reverse engineering data found in FCC filings about the new Starlink network. Here is an excellent video discussing Starlink topography. New information for me in this video is that Starlink will actually have potential speeds in excess of ground based glass fiber when the first phase is deployed.

Another 60 StarLink satellites scheduled to go up tonight. StarLink functionality could actually happen ahead of schedule with this launch rate. Watch it here.

Any idea how many in total are going to be deployed? I sure hope they can handle the demand. Worried about what this is going to cost for any decent speeds.

You are driving an expensive, highly modified Newmar motorhome and you're worried about cost, I heard someone say.

They are talking about 12,000 eventually for world wide coverage. Apparently with 1,000 they will be able to get competitive speeds and coverage over North America. There are several more launches in the next few months so they are chipping away at the 1,000 goal pretty fast.
