Providing fast land internet to the middle of nowhere is just expensive. For there to be competition, there must be something to compete over. Internet companies would probably not even serve a lot of areas if they were not obligated to simply because it's just not worth it to them.
Having a network of low-orbit satellite that provide fast internet is a way to make it economically viable. The downside is they make the nightsky worse (to telescopes anyway). So I disagree with your statement that both have nothing to do with each other.
