This is just the beginning.
My guess is that there will be as many Starlink direct to cell phone satellites as there are for our high bandwidth terminals.
As a rough rule of thumb, however, bandwidth will be ~1/10th as high for phones vs a dedicated Starlink antenna (physics is the law). Still a major gamechanger.

The second best time is today.
It doesn't matter how old you are.

Takeaway:
It’s widely believed that the most successful entrepreneurs are young. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg were in their early twenties when they launched what would become world-changing companies.
Do these famous cases reflect a generalizable pattern?
Research shows that among the top 0.1% of startups based on growth in their first five years, the founders started their companies, on average, when they were 45 years old.
Remember: It's never too late to turn your dream idea, into your dream business.

The 13 most important lessons I got from David Ogilvy:
1. The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.
2. You are advertising to a moving parade, not a standing army.
3. The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is 'test'.
4. On average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy.
When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.
5. Do not address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone.
6. Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
7. Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals.
8. Raise your sights. Blaze new trails. Compete with the immortals.
9. I am a lousy copywriter, but I am a good editor. So I go to work editing my own draft.
10. If you're trying to persuade people to buy something, use the language in which they think.
11. Insist that due dates are kept even if it means working all night. Hard work never killed a man. People die of boredom
12. If you are lucky enough to write a good advertisement, repeat it until it stops selling.
13. At the start of your career in advertising, what you learn is more important than what you earn.

It has been a year I formulated my top ideas for the winter of 2021.
I thought I would share how I planned for my trades then, which resulted in my $5,000,000 trade on $RIVN and $TSLA.
