Starlink for sure
Satellite companies can't even compete with Starlink due to the launch costs.
Elon Musk is a genius. It'll be the ISP of the world. Unrestricted by ground infrastructure. I can only imagine what he's got cooking once starlink is 100% operational.
His plans are massive. Tesla, SpaceX, solar city, the boring company. He's vertically integrating everything that has to do with what's needed for space colonization, but doing it in a way that is benefiting and creating value on Earth.
I'm pretty certain we're a few discoveries away from being able to successfully and efficiently colonize a moon or planet. Once we get a portable fusion reactor, higher density batteries, and the nanotech shrinks enough, we'll be off this planet.

Humans have evolved on the Earth over million/billions of years... we have no shot surviving on other planets unless we learn real top-down sustainability.

Starting fresh on a new planet, with a small cohort, and building out frees that society of the current geopolitical related problems on Earth.
