Isn't starlink for people in 3rd world countries found in Africa, Asia and the Midwest?

This chap is living in North Hollywood, he should expect a cheap/fast wired connection in 2021.

Starlink is for everybody that is not happy with their current providers.

He can expect what he likes, maybe he will get it, maybe not.

X world countries is antiquated, no? The events of the last few years (Brexit, Trump, BLM, COVID) should make anyone think twice about labeling one country as "first world" and another as "developing".

You wish.

I'm from a third world country. Stop with the off-putting virtue-signalling. Everyone knows what is meant by the term, even if it isn't necessarily an accurate representation of the relative development of countries.
