In the USA, Starlink requires registration against a particular set of satellites visible to a fixed/bounded area - you can’t just take the modem and satellite with you and move to another location (and especially not use them while moving continuously). Is that not the case in Australia?



This seems a bit inaccurately stated.

The registration is tied a a particular geographic cell over which a large number of different satellites will pass.

Starlink has added the ability to change your address if the cell of your new address has available capacity. You do need some sort of internet access to submit that address change.


IIRC, you have to call them and they stress that it’s not something that they will support doing multiple times in series. It’s for moving to a new address, not working as a nomad.
