Im very much open to replacing my Starlink - but this isn’t it. Land based lasers are just going to be attached to things called cell towers - and if I have one of those nearby… then I’d use cellular.
The tech sounds useful to bridge cell towers in rural areas among each other to skip satellites and laying cables.
Back when I was still in university, dormatories’ internet was established using a similar tech to the main campus. It was great, except on snowy days. Then there was just no internet at all.

It’s still longer distance than cellular and it can get even better. Cell towers will always win.

That sounds like a major drawback. I guess it’s still better than nothing tho. Did rain cause issues as well?
I don’t think so. Cannot remember that it did. Fog did though.
