That's like saying Comcast doesn't have a monopoly because you can get crappy mobile Internet at 1Mbps speeds by tethering to your phone. Or saying DSL is "competition" at 12Mbps speeds. By your definition, there are no ISP monopolies left on Earth now that Starlink is here. BTW according to the study I linked, less than half of Starlink customers get service that meets the anemic FCC definition of broadband. > It's massively changed the market dynamics. And I suspect Elon will push the pricing down further and further. This is hand-wavey conjecture, not an argument. He might lower the pricing if he gets enough welfare for his companies from the government. But only if that's a requirement, otherwise no he's not going to lower any pricing. The monthly pricing for Starlink has gone up, not down.
