That's not "small and poor".

Edit: Oh, it was a German "joke". Now I understand. :)

Although I'm REALLY skeptical that for more than maybe 1% of the population that Starlink is the best option.

German humor :)

maybe 1% of the population [...]

That would be more than 800k people, although the number of affected people does not make a difference. You don't even think about taking communication away from anyone without there being a replacement for them. And in the scope of Germany, this means that we'll need starlink access for the next decade or so.
