I do wonder about what happens when Starlink grows its customer base a lot bigger like many of you are predicting here, since Elon Fucking Musk, the king of over-promising and under-delivering, is at the helm. We might end up yearning for the days of the (slightly more) regulated utilities instead.

Oh good, so we’ll be in the same place as we are today with a duopoly or similar, where every option sucks. Sounds lovely.
