If you want to find any solid proofs that Starlink is not about internet I could advise you to dig info about Starlink internet exchange and autonomous systems.
Any internet provider must have several things that are absolutely essential to be an internet provider.
- uplinks to IX'es (Internet eXchanges), ie thick channels to the large datacenters.
- AS'es (Autonomous Systems, i.e. IP ranges) to provide connectivity
- Assigned IANA ids for company, tech contacts and so on.
Check that things, it could be interesting. Something tell me that thickness of channels and AS'es Starlink have orders of magnitude lower than bare minimum necessary to somehow, with very questionable quality service number of users Starlink announces to be able to serve. Tech, admin and other contacts of AS, ORG, even Starlink domains from IANA database (available via whois utility on your computer or via web services) could be interesting too, showing who is actually in charge of whole Stralink networking.
PS: I know, for some audience that pictures with staellites could look fascinating, but really they does not prove anything. Especially if one know that this dots have to be much smaller to show real scale of those satellites over the Earth. If you do the same with non-Musk satellites, the picture will look much more dangerous, because it will be much thicker layer ot that large dots and without holes over the Earth poles.
