Hey are absolutely not replacing “legacy” isps and certainly not mobile. Even if they had perfect coverage, sat signals are way too sensitive to obstructions. | ||

True. They're replacing legacy ISPs in areas where your choices are high latency geostationary satellite service, dialup, or DSL where the nearest DSLAM is far enough away that it may as well be dialup. | ||

If anything they'll go for the lucrative customers that _need_ a signal to go faster through vacuum than through glass. Maybe some decent revenue offering sat to cell for the traditional carriers. | ||
