Plus, where's the power coming from for a month+?
Ham radio, internet turtle speed over ham, satellite text/call over Iridium more useful in those situations.
But, if you must 1st world a disaster, you'd need big power bank + solar panel rated for the power draw of the starlink + router + laptop/tablet/phone. Add waterproof boxes etc if you're in a flood area. All of the satellite providers besides Starlink, too.
As for service, you'd have to active before the disaster, so useless in an earthquake zone like California where there's simply not enough warning to do so. Could with typhoons like Florida, but then you'll fighting a ton of other factors - rains, winds, homes under water, etc. Ie. You'd need a boat big enough to carry you, food, water, power bank, solar, Starlink, etc etc out to safety.
And if we ever go to war with China/Russia, ALL satellites will be down the first week after they explode the EMPs in space to knock sat coverage out and virus to the ground receiver boxes like ukraine's first week. They've tested anti-satellite weapons already.

In congested areas, 5G is often such over saturated that you get maybe 1-2 mBps down, which means streaming is off. Busy weekends in certain areas also means that you get zero bars because you cannot connect with one provider but have to use another.
For example, couldn't get T-Mobile to connect but Mint could. Had an open ticket with T-Mobile because of this (and received a $50 credit).
I do seen quite a few Starlink set ups nearby. People are mounting them on galvanized pipe to clear trees. Plus if it snows, there is supposedly some heating thing to help keep the snow off.
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.

Who offers 5G services out in the ocean which is the main target for that plan? Know of a lot of 5G towers out there?
