More ISP competition would be a good thing, especially outside cities. But it's hard to see how Starlink's costs, even with cheap SpaceX launches, could ultimately be lower than land-based ISPs where last-mile fibre is already installed. I guess Starlink might be successful in markets where last-mile fibre is not available. So it seems like a good thing but Starlink making a lot of money will depend on land-based ISPs being useless.
