Agreed to an extent.
However, Starlink won't be a competitor to traditional ISPs. The latter will be quite happy to drop their (pretense of) a commitment to rural broadband if there is an alternative.
At an average of $100 per meter running cable is often cost-prohibitive if there are only a handful of homes on a rural road.
Starlink won't be able to provide service in densely populated areas since each satellite can handle only a relatively small number of subscribers. As such, its complementary and not competitive.
