Huge advantages maybe in the future. Not now.

I’m thinking buying a camper van, and just travel through the world. Except I need internet, everywhere.

There are no such options. Starlink is the best, but there are two main problems with it:

- In the countries where it would be the most useful, it’s not allowed to be used (Garmin has the same problem with their Fenix 8 Pro, their availability maps are a joke) - You need to go back to your “home” country every other month (there is a non legal, thus risky, option to circumvent this for now)

So, that huge advantage is not here yet at all.

There are huge military advantages right now. The US military will not willingly give up starlink, and they can use it in every country without permission.
