Is it true that satellite internet provides global coverage?
Partly. Several sources describe satellite constellations as providing or promising coverage of remote and underserved regions, and one states satellite communications give ubiquitous coverage. Others note that coverage depends on constellation design and latitude, with some systems lacking polar or high-latitude coverage, so the evidence only partly supports the blanket claim of global coverage.
