It’s not a distant future, the benefits are already here and increasing with each launch.

I’ve been tracking a sailboat crossing the Atlantic Ocean the past weeks which have been able to upload videos to YouTube everyday, something that would be impossible without Starlink.

Of course, this specific use case isn’t important, just used it to point out that Starlink is already working well.
