incumbent regional ISPs (primarily the historical local phone company and whoever built the first cable TV franchise starting from the 1980s) serving rural areas could do a whole lot more if they didn't waste or outright commit fraud with RDOF, RDOF2, USF, BTOP and other federal subsidy broadband construction funds.
It's a travesty that there are some places that are not very rural at all in the US48 states where the best possible option is a starlink terminal right now. Something like starlink should be used for the REALLY remote and hard to reach places.
