    I meant comparable to wired up internet or proper wireless towers in infrastructure cost, the end user cost is absurd anywhere in the US and it’s not worth talking about.

      That’s observably false, though. If infrastructure costs were really that much cheaper, ISPs would already be serving these people at a lower price point.

        Which is why I didn’t say it was factual, but rather that I didn’t see it being comparable.

        And no, my point has nothing to do with ISP companies and for a business it would be illogical to dig to more rural areas.

        This is something Starlink avoids by being in space obviously, other existing ISPs wouldn’t make much money off of it anywhere near as fast for example. This is why the government should handle all of it, like I said.
