With the pricing structure being discussed for North American users, this is sure to shake up the cosy arrangement that the NBN and its ilk have enjoyed here for too long. However, I still object to all those routers in the night sky over my observatory.

On the upside, it does establish a cash flow service business for SpaceX and I am all for supporting the development of Starship, Mars colonisation (without big business getting a change to pollute that planet as well.
