So, if you live in an apartment building, unless you have a balcony, you can't install a satellite on the roof or the fire escape.

Look at Hughes/Viasat, no minimum speed (I don't know of many rural ISPs that guarantee a minimum, even dsl in town says "up to", and can't reliably stream audio), 24 month contract with etf on day 1. How is Starlink's "worse"? Deposit now, that gives them an idea of the number of serious buyers when available.
Upload speed and latency as well.

I would LOVE 5G or even 4G home but they are not offered. I will not do all the "hacks" to try and get true unlimited as I don't need the hassle. Starlink is providing the service. It is here, NOW (for some but more than the cellular home service is) and will be worldwide within a year I believe. Cell phone companies could have done 4G home for YEARS and they didn't due to the amount of money they can charge on mobile devices compared to stationary since they have actual competition in the stationary market.
As far as the IPO. I said it before, maybe in this thread, Starlink will fail if cellular companies open up nationwide home service with unlimited data (TRUE UNLIMITED) at 4G or 5G speeds and Starlink doesn't lower pricing. I think Starlink should be giving the equipment for free in that $100 a month plan and should seriously think about lowering that price quickly once the cell companies push for home users. There are not enough places that do not get cell phone coverage that could pay for all those satellites if everyone jumps to a 5G home service for $50 a month. I would be VERY leery on the IPO (I am no professional what-so-ever so take it or leave it) due to the timing and availability of 4g/5g home.

This will put them all out of business overnight. I'd be pretty concerned if I was a local ISP, putting millions of dollars (from federal contracting and related), to see the real possibility of going belly up.
