There is much discussion at the Federal level about modifying the BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) Federal funding program. One idea being floated is to allow Starlink satellite broadband as a solution; the current BEAD requirements strongly favor fiber. Other ideas being discussed include softening or eliminating some of the regulatory requirements.
Some of the BEAD regulations are could benefit from modification, particularly the prevailing wage requirement, which substantially increases the cost of construction by requiring union pay levels.
Including Starlink is a mixed bag. Starlink availability has already reached saturation (i.e. Can't add more customers because of capacity issues) in some U.S. areas. Starlink continues to add satellites, but there are unconfirmed reports that more Starlink satellites are falling out of the sky faster than Starlink can add new ones (atmospheric drag in LEO is an issue).
Starlink is far better than DSL in remote rural areas, but the idea that consigning all rural households to Starlink "solves" the rural broadband problem is pernicious. Starlink bandwidth, like any RF-based wireless, is variable and may not support work from home, which will continue to be important to many rural households.
