I do not, however, believe anyone but the rural ISP's have anything to worry about for a long time.
Yeah, I also don't think Starlink is going to be competing against urban internet services anytime soon.

Not with gigabit speeds becoming the norm.

But the rural market is massive.
There are 60 million people in rural America, plus another 5-6 million in Canada.

At $80 a month (or whatever it'll be), that is a staggering amount of potential revenue. JUST in North America. Now start going after the rest of the world.

This is going to be massive.
