I think anything above $100/mo is crazy.  :/

But Nomad seems to provide an interesting solution that could be  
better than the Musk/Starlink solution.

For one thing, Starlink does not permit using the system at any  
other location except at one physical location.  Nomad allows  
the account hold to move around (eg. RV, camping..)

I just got a little "congratulations! you qualify for Starlink  
in your area" message.

But the pricing is incredible and turn-off for me:

  " Starlink is now available for order to a limited number of
  users in your coverage area. Placing your order now will hold
  your place in line..

  " Order Starlink

  " Starlink is targeting coverage in your area in mid to late 2021. You will receive a notification once your Starlink is ready to ship.
