Starship will blow the satellite count out of the water. Also, SpaceX gets to load up launches with payload space with more satellites.
What is apparent is that the other upstart satellite flotillas have zero chance of being competitive and getting off the ground, both figuratively and literally.
But at some point there were issues with getting components for the new gen of Dishys, they have less ports and flexibility than mine. Scaling dishys is still an issue along with the satellites, but it's not like growth has stalled.
This decision may minorly slow the growth of starlink, but not by much.
And if SpaceX does get Starship off the ground at anything close to their economic targets, fuggedaboutit.
