Starlink has a (impressively) low ping of < 100ms, while existing alternatives usually have 600ms+. Now, that’s only relevant if they are using it for stuff like flying drones.

minus-squareInktvip@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up12·4 months agoStarlink has enough uplink to be able to handle live video streams and a latency low enough to do this with simple tools. I’m not sure if that still happens, but I’ve seen some pictures of Ukrainian command bunkers literally getting drone feeds using discord screen share.
