As a Canadian living in a "rural" area, 15km from a municipality of 160,000 people with no access to wired broadband internet, I'd rather see whatever funding gets thrown at this startup into actually developing Canadian terrestrial infrastructure.
As a rant, in the 8 years since living here, I've seen cellular data prices double. Yes, double.
The next would be more cellular towers with realistic data plans to service rural data. As an example these Telus plans are fairly representative of what's available. $90 for 20GB, $135 for 50GB. https://www.telus.com/en/mobility/mobile-internet?linktype=g...
Alternatively they can spend the limited funds to address the market that includes you and Nunavut and elsewhere around the world since it needs to orbit.

Using the term "Limited funds" here you're trivializing the costs and challenges with starting up a Starlink competitor.
