You are might be right (though we could quibble over diminishing returns on speed over a few Mbps). But you seem to be discussing this as a choice. One nation launching thousands of satellites because three companies want to make a pile of money and also because that one country can't get it's act together and do something about its own predatory cable companies seems like a weak argument to make from a moral point of view. But what about third world countries and such? Summary opinion: The people who could afford Starlink already have broadband, and we wouldn't want to subsidize others access, would we? That path leads to socialism and the USPS. Or indeed broadband as a right attached to cable company's license. Impossible! (In that one country.) Let third world countries sort out their own broadband and make their own money. And let them have their own view of the damn stars.
