Beaming internet from space solves a ton of problems for anyone out at the ends of rural copper, or using p2p systems, or where there simply isn't another alternative.

But using myself as an example, I live in a part of NYC where there is fiber internet in the street in front of my building - and my landlord has zero obligation to allow the 60-ish apartments in the building to access it. We're stuck on legacy cable, which has abysmal upload speeds and congestion issues.

The dense urban or suburban environments theoretically have more options, but thats not always reality... and I'm not sure that tens of millions of people replacing their local ISP with satellite is desirable, or even technically viable. New provider options are important, but making sure access to the existing options is equitable and reasonable (across all the various local governments, providers, middlemen, etc) is important too.
