I was recently looking at getting starlink. During my research I got a good chuckle at the realization that it’s more cost effective for SpaceX to launch thousands of satellites into space for starlink then it is for someone to dig a goddamn hole to provide adequate service.

Even slightly rural places it’s not cost effective for traditional isps to dig a cable so what’s the markets solution? Launch thousands of satellites! I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. The market has failed, requiring external forces to intervene(the government). Whether it be Title 2ing them or allowing municipal competition something needs to happen
