    "Over the last two weeks, RVers and other mobile Starlink broadband
    users began to see the roaming indication on their Starlink app screen
    switch from “false” to “true,” indicating their wait for more mobile use
    of the system might be over. Not all users can roam away from their
    official Starlink “service address,” but more and more can now do so.

    The official word from SpaceX subsidiary Starlink is that there is no
    official word on enabling roaming. However, SpaceX founder Elon Musk has
    stated more than once during the past year that Starlink’s principal objective was to deploy and expand the roaming feature and provide
    service to mobile users, be they RVers, marine users, commercial
    truckers, etc. For the past month, mobile users online have reported
    success while venturing forth from their fixed service address.

    You would be forgiven for thinking that a company of the stature of
    Starlink might be able to do a better job of keeping the installed user
    base, if not the public at large, informed of developments with the
    broadband equipment and service. The company does not seem to prioritize customer communications. Most valuable information for subscribers and
    users seems to emanate from founder Musk’s Twitter messages. At any
    rate, at least for large swaths of the North American continent,
    services are available in most “cells” or addresses when initiating the service. The service seems to be working fine when the user’s dish moves
    away from the official service address."
