    Is starlink business model like uber/airbnb? Killing the market with low prices by circumventing regulations to establish their monopoly?

      No, it just vertical integration. You need to send up rockets to make money, so you make sure they never have an empty slot on them by filling it yourself. You get enough satellites up, then you have a revenue generating payload you can send up steady from then on.
