Ben Longmier(@longmier ):The Starlink mini is amazing. I’ve used mine at home, in a boat, in a small plane, out and about at a picnic table using my usual USB battery. @Starlink Direct to Cell (texting and lite data) is in beta in the US now and commercially live this summer. We are commercially live in New Zealand and Japan already, with many countries coming soon as well.
