Look up ASTS. They do satellite communications with better technology. Only 5 satellites to cover North America instead of the massive constellation Starlink requires.
They have contracts with the major NA cell services and contracts in place for other regions once they launch more satellites.
I don’t buy civ games until they release all the DLC. Since CIV 5 it seems like they have released unfinished games that lack major game mechanics on launch and the game only gets finished through DLC.
Poor adoption and sales with CIV 7 is their own fault. They have conditioned the market to wait for the DLC.
