Given that regulations were once written, I got to think that regulations can change. If there's a technology that really works, and people really want/need it, and it solves the expensive problem of connecting rural communities, I don't see regulators just being like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 'Yeah, that'd be cool, but law's the law! We already printed these books!'

And if other countries have it and it prevents yours from 'staying competitive', important people pay attention.

And if that civic approach doesn't work, some rich farmer tells his senator buddy on a hunting trip that he wants Starlink to watch Netflix in the woods, and the senator tells the regulator to make it happen.
