I think technology limitations. Directtv/dish would have used it already if it was cheap enough since it's easier to install.

  They would only have done it if an off-the-shelf solution was already available. StarLink is going global and the target price for their terminals is $USD200 or so.

    That's pure speculation. There's nothing special about starlink for buying power. Anyone would have done it if a cheap solution/off the shelf was available.

      The point is not about buying power, it’s about potential income versus up front development cost.

        That's the exact same thing every company in every business has to solve. What makes starlink unique in this case?

          The up front development cost is slightly lower than a few years ago, and the potential income is astronomical.
