I'd be more than happy with cheaper communications sooner rather than later! Between Internet and Wireless service it feels like I am shelling out an arm and a leg every month. Luckily my work pays for my cell phone, but the prices are still just ridiculous.

The challenge there is monopolies/duopolies are often in place. People have very few choices.
We are going to see a new entrant with SpaceX's Starlinnk follwed, eventually, by Bezo's Blue Origin project. The incumbents are going to be under threat.

I just got my email the other day for Starlink about getting the service. Unfortunately, it is still too cost prohibitive at this point. I can't justify the upfront cost for the equipment.

I havent looked into the costs since it is not going to be an option here for a long while. The speeds, from what I read, are outstanding. They even eclipse most of the urban areas.
We are now going to see some competition. As Starlink spreads out and others follow suit, I wonder what that will do to prices.

I think the trial speeds right now with Starklink are pretty meh. At least compared to what I get through cable. That is another reason I couldn't justify the cost. The speeds they are promising... Now those are impressive and would maybe tip the scales in favor of taking the plunge.
