Yeah, but - Musk is using way more than his share of our communications satellite orbits. Or something.

In 2023, SpaceX completed 96 successful missions, safely flew 12 more astronauts to orbit, launched two flight tests of Starship, and more than doubled the number of people around the world connected by @Starlink.Musk Speech to Starlink Employees

Here's a funny coincidence. In the PC Mag article is an image for the "StarLink Community Gateway", with this picture:
Look familiar??? Maybe because this is the default "Bliss" background from Windows XP:

Will it provide just internet, or can it be used for, say, TV?

For reliability I prefer a hard wire for Internet access (fiber is fine).

Nice. From the article:
Previously, a single Starlink dish cost $3,000 to produce, but the company has been steadily driving down the manufacturing costs. This has involved opening a new Starlink factory in Texas, which Musk referred to in his speech.
The company’s other major goal is to operate a cellular version of Starlink that can beam data to phones on the ground, giving a way for consumers to digitally communicate even in the most remote regions. On Thursday, SpaceX demonstrated that the technology works, successfully relaying text messages from a batch of newly launched “Direct to Cell” Starlink satellites to unmodified phones on the ground.
Texas factory--made in America, and the good part of the USA, too.... Starlink cell phone access? What a great thing!
