This price may already be significantly subsidized. A lot of people were expecting $2k+ for the antenna. This type of phased array antenna has never been mass produced for consumers before. Similar antennas have been extremely expensive. People are also saying that the existing satellite providers (ViaSat, HughesNet) charge a similar amount up front for equipment/install. But they're going to have to radically drop their prices as soon as Starlink becomes available, because it's a clearly superior product in pretty much every way.
