When you put a lot of time into something and are understandably pleased with the result it can be hard to look at it objectively and you are likely to overvalue your work relative to someone who isn't invested in it. Maybe just look at them as a stepping stone learning experiences to bigger and better things.

In truly rural or remote areas relative to any available alternative it is as close to a miracle product as one could imagine. If you haven’t had to use other satellite Internet services like BGAN, Iridium, viasat, etc… it’s hard to explain what a revolution Starlink is in every aspect.

It seems they did repeatedly say they could do it but fcc just ignored them.
