It would be interesting to hear how much cheaper we are talking here about. E.g. here in Lithuania (Eastern Europe) I pay about 15$ for 100Mb/s (for 30$ I could get 300Mb/s).

Well, combustion engine in my car is not very conventional either by XIX century standards. Maybe we should ride horses? Why you make assumption that bombs must be delivered to space vs constructed there from resources mined in asteroids?
