> other internet providers dumping tens of thousands of satellites in orbit instead of building municipal internet

Ah yes, that municipal internet in the Pacific Ocean. The municipal internet in the 1 person per square mile rural area. The municipal internet to mountain villages. The municipal internet running to airplanes. The municipal internet to the Antarctic research stations.

Tell me you don’t know the point of satellite internet without telling me.

If you want to make arguments against sat constellations so people can make long exposure photos, go for it. But don’t pretend there are actual viable alternatives to LEO sat internet.

Maybe it's okay for there to be places on the earth where high sped internet is not available?

Yet that person can receive mail, is within a few miles of a major highway, and is likely connected to or close to the electric grid.

Infrastructure is expensive. LEO Satellite internet is only cheaper because the environmental cost is not being accounted for.
