I heard that on and off and its just not true.

You saw what? Rich people in other countries (a small amount of) having now fast internet?

Wow.

Now take my proper argument, stop nitpicking and compare a handful of peple on a planet with 9 Billion people.

My main argument was and is, that a lot more people are getting hurt by this than gain something. Loss of research and clear night sky and risk of atmospheric poisening vs. a handful of peple now benefitting from it...

No. I saw rural people (not rich) getting to access the world of medicine and education people in bigger population centres take for granted. Not to mention connecting with their families. They were very happy.

“Handful of people” benefiting from it is vastly missing the mark.


It's a similar level of complaint to windmills spoiling the view. And if you poll people which would they rather have in the wilderness: no satellites visible at dusk and dawn, or full internet access, which would they prefer?
