If Starlink can provide 4g quality service to Canadian cell subscribers at a reasonable price, they would have millions of users in months.
It might contribute to providing backhaul services making cell-towers cheaper to deploy, and it might enable things like sticking an antenna in a vehicle, but it can't provide 4g style cell phone service.

> can Starlink be used to back haul LTE/regular cell in rural areas or emergency situations/disasters? Seems like a great thing for disasters where back haul is damaged but not sure how useful it be due to bandwidth/latency?
