As much as this is true, this is also a solution that's doesn't have a lot of alternatives for very isolated areas. You can technically run undersea cables to everywhere, but it's actually faster and easier to have LEO satellites serve places like Antarctica. Some smaller island nations, the middle of Africa, etc.
There are problems with every solution, but this was always an inevitable solution for worldwide communication.
Yup, that's why the Antarctic Event Horizon telescope needed to wait 6 months to send its data back...
There is a reason that StarLink is better than the previous options.
