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

We start our cirumnavigation in November, the 90 day rule makes it impossible to use Starlink.

Great system that supports the sailing cruiser community so well and is a major positive safety factor

This seems like a money grab from those that can least afford it.

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

I move from country to country without coming back, so the changes causes me trouble.

We are cruising sailors who rely on Starlink.

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.

As liveaboard cruisers, we must spend 4 months in Grenada, West Indies during hurricane season according to our insurance company.

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.

I was planning to buy a starlink for our cruise on our sailboat. If not removed, I won't just deal with starlink.

I’m a full time live aboard and rely on Starlink when sailing between countries. I often don’t come “home” for years.

As a sailor moving from country to country the new rulesimply does not work and makes Starlink useless or very very costly which would defeat the all purpose.

We are about to make an Atlantic crossing after a year cruising the med,and starlink is key to our plans. With these new restrictions we would have no reason to let our subscription... It would no longer serve our needs as full time live aboard cruises
