Have they said anything about pricing yet? This would seem like a decent solution for roaming data during travel too.

Nothing specific, I think they are still figuring that out, but Gwynne Shotwell, the president of Spacex, is hinting a bit I think with:

> Shotwell said millions of people in the U.S. pay $80 per month to get “crappy service.” She didn’t say whether Starlink will cost more or less than $80 per month but suggested that would be a segment of the public the company would target as well as rural areas that currently have no connectivity.

Yeah, the last mile is huge. My parents have paid between $100 and $200 per month for the last decade to get metered Internet that's worse than this.
