    1: Starlink

    2: All providers don’t have to upgrade all of their infrastructure and can sell a 50Mbps link as fast. Backhaul can be much smaller and they can over-sell 50Mbps to a lot more people in a neighborhood than 1000Mbps.

    3: All that core backhaul can be reserved for flock camera cellular feeds and AI datacenter traffic without having to spend on further upgrades.
