seems to differentiate between mobile inland and maritime.
if you coastal hop are you violating service agreement of mobile inland plan, the one with 150$/month and 599$ hardware?
is mobile inland plan what you call cheapest "Roam" plan?

Per the page you linked, Mobile Regional is $150 USD/month.
In Panama it is $64 USD/month. Land is defined as in the land hexagons. It doesn't legally mean on land only.
It also has the ability to
work great when you leave the hexagon. When it stops working, you open the app, toggle on "priority data" and it typically starts working within 3-10 minutes. Of course you pay extra for this feature. Panama plan is $2.14/GB. Well worth it to have offshore.
I care not what the ToS say as I have never read them fully and don't intent do.
When you apply for SL in Panama it will ask you for an ID number. I just used my US Passport number without any issues.
From the Starlink FAQ:
What areas are considered land vs ocean under the Mobile Plans?
Land: All areas labeled as "Available", "Waitlist", or "Coming Soon" on the Starlink Availability Map are considered land regions. Regional Mobile plans can be used on land within your continent (see continent map), while Global Mobile plans can be used on land anywhere Starlink has service around the world.
Ocean: All areas colored as black on the Starlink Availability Map are considered ocean regions, including islands unless they are labeled "Available", "Waitlist", or "Coming Soon". Only Mobile Priority Data can be used on the ocean, including on these unlabeled islands. Use in local territorial waters, is contingent on
government approval.
