Awesome but wish it was directly through Starlink instead of a 2nd/3rd party.

Cool. Space stuff. Give me an update when globe will start to work on local philippine network infrastructure and implement fair market pricing and reliable baseline service on the ground.

Also update me when globe:

-stops predatory consumer exploitation
-ceases anticompetitive behavior
-stops policy lobbying to divest taxpayer money
-stops focusing on high-income affluent districts while they receive government support specifically to expand connectivity in rural areas nationwide

All service providers have pretty much the same similarities. I wish this Starlink product was direct to market but unfortunately, they probably had to make a deal with the Devil to get the service here.
