-----------------------------------------------
Due to excessive levels of inflation, the price of the Starlink kit is
increasing from $499 to $549 for deposit holders, and $599 for all new
orders, effective today. In addition, the Starlink monthly service
price will increase from $99 to $110. The new price will apply to your
subscription on 5/17/2022.

The sole purpose of these adjustments is to keep pace with rising
inflation. If you do not wish to continue your service, you can cancel
at any time and return your Starlink hardware within your first year
of service for a partial refund of $200. If you have received your
Starlink in the past 30 days, you can return it for a full refund.

"The sole purpose of these adjustments is to keep pace with rising
inflation.", they told me in an email. It's an email, not Fox News. It
must be true.

And, the going forward part:

"Since launching our public beta service in October 2020, the Starlink
team has tripled the number of satellites in orbit, quadrupled the
number of ground stations and made continuous improvements to our
network. Going forward, users can expect Starlink to maintain its
cadence of continuous network improvements as well as new feature
additions. "
