Starlink's threat to wired broadband 'minimal' - analyst

US cable operators and other wired broadband service providers likely won't have to fret too much about SpaceX's Starlink in the coming years. But the emerging satellite broadband service is poised to play a significant role in providing service in rural US areas alongside opportunities in the much larger global market, according to one analyst study.
"We have no trouble imagining Starlink as a potential game-changer for helping to bridge the digital divide in the US," Craig Moffett, analyst with MoffettNathanson, explained in a new report that dissects the potential for the satellite broadband service. "The opportunity outside the US, where broadband availability is generally lower, is even larger. The product appears to deliver what it promises. Globally, the rural opportunity is a very, very big one."
