Your confusion is well founded, these products are not for you and the true customers don't care. LEO Satellite network connectivity is every military's wet dream: impossible to deny without triggering global condemnation for creating space debris; only accessible to those with the most money (and access to launchers); allows you to run operations without deploying large power-hungry ground infrastructure.
Why do you think Amazon fought so hard to take away the JEDI contract from Microsoft?

- mlindner 5y ago> Didn't Russia jam starlink in Ukraine with 50 year old tech? or was that debunked? Starlink hasn't been successfully jammed anywhere. They noticed some jamming attempts degrading the signal quality and put out a software update that fixed it. Ukraine is already using it to boostrap restarting the cell phone connectivity in destroyed areas near Kyiv.
