We plan to begin an Atlantic circuit in December this year, with the voyage continuing until September 2027. Starlink is an important part of our safety and security strategy. The new rules make it impossible for us to rely on Starlink for this purpose. This is a very unexpected and disappointing development.

Starlink has been a great improvement in sailing life and one big reason we decided we could start cruising long distances. Please do not change the rule (after also increasing the pricing) for country. Thank you!

This new change does not work for the international yachting community, which has come to rely on Starlink for weather routing, safety, and communication.

It is ridiculous. It doesn't cost any more to have internet on the ocean or if in a different country.

Sailing around the world includes changing countries frequently. The conflicting rules maje it almost impossible to use Starlink economically.

Starling must remain a financially viable option for sailboat cruisers. It has become an important safety element for sailors, as well as allowing remote- working sailors to maintain their livelihoods.

We are grateful for the revolutionary service to date, but these changes have resulted in a massive change in cost of communications access which is so vital to the safety of life at sea in the worlds most remote places.
