SpaceX has reached a limit somewhere.. They are resorting to pricing
games and now putting in caps that they never had before... Either that
or the cell phone greed gene is kicking in. I wonder if they recently
hired any cell phone execs that brought the greed with them. We are
seeing ex customers come crawling back after getting $600 overage bills...

a precursor to fiber rollout. Sign up home Internet customers
using 5G, then where you have concentrations of customers,
roll out fiber? That way you avoid running out of celltower
capacity, and you capture the customers and keep them away
from competitors.
