I suppose people with large enough boats to utilize this don't care about cost.
They can pack lots of customers and satellites in populated areas.
whereas
They have to dedicate lone satellites to almost empty naval regions. That is why RV is also, slightly more expensive.

First, it uses standard RJ45 connectors for the satellite, so you can in theory use your own poe-compliant Ethernet cables if you need to expand the included cable (check Reddit for more info, but I believe you can expand this up to 150ft).
Second, the router has an extra Ethernet port for connecting your own router (previously, I believe you had to pay for an adapter).
My understanding though is the real issue for speed up/down is they will get about 8 mb per 5mhz of band. To get more than the 5 they have now they will need their carrier partners to give up spectrum and that's a tall order given how valuable those spectrum licenses are.
I certainly hope they are successful. I'm ridiculously happy that Starlink exists, but frankly not a Musk fan (anymore) and would love to see some real competition (Kuiper unfortunately looks like a joke and is so far behind it's confusing how a company the size of Amazon dropped the ball this badly).
you're right that the spectrum is key, and that's why ASTS has partnerships with AT&T and VZW and 45+ other MNOs around the world to give them access to the 700-900 Mhz low band. they want it to work so they can put their spectrum licenses to work. Current info says they'll get at least 15 Mbps download and 2.5 Mbps per 5 Mhz of band, and each satellite can support 40 Mhz of spectrum. we are starting to get into the more technical stuff which i'm still trying to understand more myself but if you want to check out more info along these lines from a recent post by someone more informed, check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASTSpace..._adv
Starlink will develop their tech and will be a player in the satellite d2c field eventually, but right now and probably for 3-5 years, they are behind on the tech and behind on the global MNO partnerships (45+ for ASTS and only ~7 for Starlink) by a long way. lots of momentum and enthusiasm right now for ASTS. it's deserved at this moment since they've de-risked a ton this year and have clear paths to funding, though the skepticism the previous few years was deserved at the time too as they kept delaying things.
Anything providing satellite the satellite coverage aligns its orbit with the area being covered. I doubt they have any satellites going over China. At least known to the public.
