If there aren't fixed Internet-connected earth
stations line-of-sight to <br>
the satellite that's serving the remote terminal,
Starlink will relay <br>
satellite-to-satellite until a path to an
Internet-connected earth <br>
station is in reach.<br>
<br>
From the linked article:<br>
<br>
"Musk has previously stressed Starlink’s flexibility
of Starlink in <br>
providing internet service. In September, Musk talked
about how the <br>
company would use links between the satellites to
create a network that <br>
could provide service even in countries that prohibit
SpaceX from <br>
installing ground infrastructure for distribution.<br>
<br>
As for government regulators who want to block
Starlink from using that <br>
capability, Musk had a simple answer.<br>
<br>
“They can shake their fist at the sky,” Musk said."<br>
