Does anyone know how many users can be supported per dense area? Would this make sense in a city of 10k? 100k? 1M? Generally speaking Starlink goes against one of the main ideas in 5G, namely that of small cells.


Compared to other satellite Internet solutions, I believe Starlink has much smaller "cells". Obviously nowhere near as small as terrestrial 5G in dense areas.
