So? We trade a terrestrial based monopoly for a space based one?

  We'd also trade the fragments of resilience we have left against a single point of failure (both organizationally and infrastructurally). Space-based internet makes total sense for very remote areas or as a bridge technology, as well as a technology to compete with incumbent terrestrial monopolies, but I'd hate to see fiber and terrestrial 5G rollouts stopping entirely in favor of it.

    > We'd also trade the fragments of resilience we have left against a single point of failure It's the characteristic of the 21th century, trading resiliency and robustness for performance. As long as the world is stable, it's nice.
