Designed to bring internet access to remote regions, Elon Musk’s Starlink has become vital in crisis regions and war zones. But Ukraine also shows the risks of depending on the service.

My assumption would be that it relates to the doppeler shifts of the signals so maybe they have to use more bandwidth on the satellites to account for this? I am also wondering if it has to hand off more often because of the speed between satellites? I am sure someone who is a bit more familiar with orbital mechanics could do some napkin math to see what the relative speeds look like. Even then, doesn’t mean its not a cash grab.
