The change in pricing structure makes it entirely impossible to access Starlink while cruising if you are not wealthy. Having access to Starlink at sea can literally save lives through the use of weather apps and routing etc.. please reconsider.

I plan to go sailing offshore from Canada for a couple years and I would like to have Starlink on my boat, ima my budget sailor

This rule change breaks the efficiency of starlink which made cruising safer and more connected than ever before. The restrictions on registering country breaks the model

We are new cruisers and have never sailed *without* Starlink, but the proposed new rules are a deal breaker.

Starlink makes our NGO sailing research vessel work possible! It would be a very big loss for us and for the work that we do if we were no longer able to afford internet access.

We are sailors and have been cruising on and off since 1992. We are presently sailing throughout the South Pacific and Starlink has been a tremendous asset in regards to the safety and communications which it provides.

The new rules will make Starlink unaffordable / infeasible for us outside EEA.

As a sailing cruiser, this change means that we will have to be without communication often now. Now way to stay in contact with family and friends, get updated weather, etc. we’ve come to rely on Starlink for our internet access.

As small yacht cruising sailors' the 90-day rule will be a barrier to accessing Starlink during our travels. This will greatly impact our comfort and safety in remote areas and on ocean passages.

I am a cruiser. I prefer to stay with one platform. This is cost prohibited and will make us buy cellular data.

My wife and have been relying on Starlink for connectivity while cruising on our yacht the past two and a half years. We are retired and have a very limited budget and for us global priority is not affordable. The new rules will force us to find another way to access weather info.

It is not possible for me to return to my home port within 30 days. For the onward journey by sailboat, it would be important for safety reasons to keep Starlink active.

As a sailor, Starlink has been an essential part of my safety, navigation and communication system. Please remove the 90 day transfer restriction. This rule would put me and my crew in jeopardy especially during cyclone season if we had to remain in a specific area to maintain service

Priority data will be too expensive for me. I’m cruising on my boat from country to country and only use the mini Starlink offshore for weather and occasional emails

I depend on starlink to travel to remote places while I’m able to work from those places. Without it, it would make it impossible to keep traveling the world.
