I am a global sailor and this effects me directly and I cannot figure out the purpose of this policy.

We are cruising sailors and Starlink allows us to travel safely and keep in touch with family

Happy to pay the fair amount and am a huge SpaceX / Elon fan, however, the process is burdensome especially when homeschooling my daughter.

We live on our boat and your service is amazing but we could get priced out

We sail in the Caribbean for several months each year and are often in a country for only a few weeks then onto the next island country. This new rule combination makes it impossible to comply. We urge Starlink to reconsider.

Living on our sailboat, Starling has been a great security for us. Being able to check the weather as often as needed , contacting people simply for pleasure, but also have the peace of mind that if anything appends we can reach for help easily have really been a major improvement in our lives!

We travel onour boat 6 months of the year. Almostvalways out of US waters. Starlink has allowed us to stay in touch with family, do businnes as needed and most importantly, ensure we have cheater and other criticalinfirmation to ensure a safe passage. Without reasonable asccess at reasonable cost, our ability to travel by boat and keep.Starlink service will both be lost.

The current plan has made Starlink the first choice for cruisers, created loyal long-term subscribers, generated recurring revenue, and driven countless word-of-mouth recommendations. We rely on this service for weather, winds, ocean currents and threats to sailing. We travel full time with the goal of circumnavigating the globe on a small sailboat in the next 5 years. We don’t want to go back to SIM cards and daily radio reports for sailing but with the price increase we may have to.

I am living on a sailboat sailing around the world. My Starlink is my connection fto friends, family, medical advice and so much more. I will not be able to get the antenna to my home country every 30 days and as I am sailing I do not stay 90 days in a country every time. So this makes me impossible to use a normal Starlink Tarif.

We are full time cruisers since 8 years. We have visited 67 countries so far. We like to move a lot. Going to remote places with not much cellular, Starlink is a safety thing for us.

Starlink is an essential part of a yacht’s safety equipment.

It's important that Starlink understands this part of its userbase

For sailors travelling around different countries a nasty rule. And together with the new 30 day rule in a different country I think of stopping my Starlink account.

It is impossible to comply with this request on occasion even if we wanted to. We are not trying to be difficult, you are just creating unrealistic requirements of your customers.
