I think it's a pretty safe bet that starlink will act just as an ISP. The business model is obvious, "existing ISPs target people living in permanent ground based dwellings in densely populated areas well, we'll target everyone else". Everyone else includes some obvious lucrative targets, passenger jets (especially on intercontinental flights), ocean fairing ships, rich people living in places that simply aren't hooked up to other ISPs - such as many cottages.
The military isn't particularly interesting, for the most part they're just a special case of the ship and plane market segment.
