It's possible that it would not be cheaper from an overall infrastructure perspective, but still cheaper for consumers with limited options. Most of my extended family lives in rural Tennessee where their internet options are still dial-up and 5G. Comcast isn't interested in laying additional fiber to remote houses. There are options through AT&T, but I think they end up paying close to $20/GB. Several of my relatives are pretty pumped about StarLink as a potential option. I think the niche for StarLink is this - outlying communities where traditional ISPs are uninterested in building out infrastructure for the 'long tails' of the population.
