Starlink allegedly has thousands of satellites orbiting the earth so I would expect them to have service everywhere from New York to the Gobi Desert to the middle of the Pacific. Clearly the satellites are more sparse at the poles so let's allow some leeway there. In this 3D chart the green hexagons represent general areas with coverage. The red dots represent ground stations, and the white dots represent starlink satellites. Why do all the coverage areas seem to correlate to ground stations? Why does alaska have some coverage despite having almost no satellites overhead? Why don't we have global coverage? Especially out at sea where there are no national laws to maneuver around for service? Could it be starlink operates like the rest of the internet? They rely on land based towers to transmit/receive, and they require land and sea cables to form a network? Why are most of these satellites useless when they are not orbiting over one of the few service areas on earth? There is no such thing as Orbiting Satellites in space, and the earth is flat.
