At half Globalstar's altitude, Starlink at 550 km has less free space path loss to deal with, but average distance of about 700 km means it's still a stretch compared with terrestrial cellular of 10s of metres or maybe a few kilometres. There's also going to be a lot of spectrum pollution when lots of people are trying to send data crowded for 600 km. Long ago Tarken sent a SPOT location from the west coast of Rarotonga which had to travel maximum distance to Dubbo to report to me, so I know at least a bit of data can move. Over the last couple of decades no doubt sensitivity has improved so 700 km is doable. Far from town such as in Outback Australia or in airliners or on boats, it would be great - and as I said Globalstar should do quarter of a century ago. It was doable then even without sensitive latest devices. But Starlink will no doubt do dumb pricing to stop it succeeding well. They don't know what price elasticity means so the die is cast. Mqurice
