It's big in the recreational boating community, as those folks generally have the disposable income to support a SpaceX ISP subscription.

Worldwide there's roughly 30 million recreational boats, whereas for commercial aircraft carrying people (not cargo) is more like 30k, so different orders if magnitude.
