Starlink installation per household costs ~$599 for hardware plus $120/month service. For an entire tribal community (e.g., XXX homes), upfront could exceed $300K, with annual maintenance ~$720K, varying by scale and subsidies.

Elders and tribal leaders face barriers like sovereignty issues, high poverty rates, regulatory hurdles, and remote geography. Many tribes partner with FCC programs, but federal underfunding persists. Starlink helps, but it's no quick fix—requires grants and infrastructure.
