Starlink Mini

I really wish SpaceX would use industry-standard PoE with a normal Cat5E&#x2F;Cat6 cable instead of a proprietary cable.<p>I don&#x27;t understand why they insist on a proprietary cable, it caused us tons of problems in a commercial environment (Industrial, remote locations).

Built in Wi-Fi router. Can you bring your own router? Is this the direction starlink is going?<p>I&#x27;ve noticed it getting harder to use my own router. Starlinks DHCP does not like it and it causes issues, including taking several minutes to connect.<p>Less and less user control is obviously the direction that big tech wants, but man I hate it and hope for a reversal in the trend.

The difference in the size of the TAM of consumer vs military application must be wild.<p>Seems radically useful for military apps. Somewhat useful for RV&#x2F;camper vans. Cool either way.

Did anyone figure out whether or not the deorbiting of Starlink satellites will cause ozone depletion? Seems pretty scary.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcmag.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;researchers-warn-of-ozone-risk-with-deorbited-starlink-satellites" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcmag.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;researchers-warn-of-ozone-risk-wi...</a>

I hope it comes to Europe soon too. I would use this instead of my 4G backup.
