Just to clarify that the Starlink service isn’t being provided for free — many of volunteers (and not just them) are paying for subscriptions with their credit cards. [1]

I’m sure there are additional costs for Starlink operations in Ukraine vs other countries, such as extra measures against jamming etc so the operation is less profitable in Ukraine than elsewhere.

And from what I understand there are some terminals that work without a subscription (although I haven’t seen any info about them specifically).

But it’s not free for many users in Ukraine.
