Elon Musk has also indicated that Starlink will look to serve people outside of dense urban areas with internet connections.
SpaceX is making smaller medium pizza box-sized flat phase array links. It is unknown what the pricing will be for those phased arrays. Kymeta makes low cost phased arrays at about $30,000 each. If SpaceX and Tesla can get Starlink connections into new Tesla commercial trucks and increase the volume of production, then SpaceX could get the price down to a few thousand dollars each.
