Sorry, but this is a very first world, urban perspective. Please have a little empathy. I live in the US and have only one choice for internet from home and it is lousy. Starlink has been a dramatic change for us. This is the situation for many, many people in the US and around the world.
Starlink is absolutely offering something that is NOT available terrestrially.
There's people importing dishes to use in cities in non covered countries today because of the condition of local networks in cities and the per bit costs
Check the steam download stats for top ISP's. It might surprise you the performance Delta with alternatives.
Telcos are complaining about roll out and spectrum costs. Some of them couldn't survive the 4G transition
The market can prove me wrong! :)
> Aside from some people who might live in rural areas in large countries that are hard to cover georgraphically
> There is no need for StarLink generally.
You point out that there is a market for StarLink and then you say it isn't needed. I'm confused. At any rate, no point in arguing about it. If there is no need they will lose a lot of money. If there is a need, they will make a lot of money. Time will tell.
