It also explains why they were talking about putting up another 120 satellites.
For the amount of coverage that comes with the system, the whole darn sky is going to be littered with star links for this thing to work efficiently. I am not feeling good about this whole thing.
I know. I know. My confirmation bias is getting in the way.
Yeah, that's my whole problem with the Starlink system - the whole sky would have to be dotted with satellites, and some stars would be utterly blotted out from observation from Earth, with artificial "stars" taking their place. It would change the face of the night sky. It would still be hit or miss in places like this because satellite signals, like cell signals and FM radio, are also line-of-sight. Satellite signals here, like those for GPS, Sirius XM, or satphones, come and go as you drive around, seemingly dropping out at random.
A conspiracy minded person might observe that here, we have learned where those signal shadows from satellite coverage are...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
