The problem with satellites are numerous.
1.Cost for the consumer. It costs 600 down just to get started with Starlink. There are a lot of people who can't do that.

2. Speed fluctuations. I've seen several people report that Starlink has gotten worse over time and this backed up by Ookla speed tests.

3.Latency. Think about how long it takes for signal to reach a satellite in space. This is not acceptable for things that need low latency, think self-driving cars, autonomous tractors, remote surgery.

4.Congestion in space. I know some people write this one off, but there is only so much room up there and starlink uses premium satellite real-esate. It's just going to get more and more congested leading to slower and slower speeds.

5. Aradatum is not just about internet. Starlink just takes takes takes. Takes the materials for new satellites, they only last 5 years, takes the energy to send them into space, that doesn't sound environmentally friendly. Not only do Aradatum towers last significantly longer, power themselves, they actually produce excess power to create a secondary grid to alleviate the stress on our primary grid. Starlink could never!

Who would take a Starlink satellite over an Aradatum tower? Maybe Musk.
