I agree.

But, raw bandwidth increase often (always?) comes with latency 
decrease.  It shouldnt be neglected.

Sure, I agree.

To that, I'd say this:

"640kbyte RAM is enough for all purposes", right?

finger + bandwidth = twitter

iridium + bandwidth = starlink

ATMachine + bandwidth = paypal

It appears hard to reduce in importance.

And I do appreciate and use many low bandwidth high-latency links regularly.

And I do agree that, especially in countries with many 
sparsely-populated areas, the starlink access appears to be a great 
tool, which should be considered importantly.
