I wonder what it would take for Starlink to develop the capacity to serve as a standalone cell provider without any (or with very few) cell towers.
If a cell provider just had to deploy and service towers in urban areas and was able to cover the rest of the country (or planet!) with satellite that could be a huge cost savings - especially if they are able to piggy-back on infrastructure SpaceX is deploying anyway. Or, failing that, use Starlink for rural backhaul meaning you could deploy cell towers anywhere there is power instead of having to provide data either through fiber optic or microwave.
