If we had had microwave power beaming satellites in the thirties, we might have used those instead of wiring up farms. In many developing countries, there still is no landline phone service because they just use mobile phones instead. I don't see what the problem is for some people that are in more remote locations to use satellite internet instead of wired, especially if, as in the case of Starlink, the performance is reasonably comparable.
