Starlink is not an existential threat to all Canadian telecom operators, but it is a serious strategic threat to the weak parts of the Canadian broadband market: rural fixed Internet, remote enterprise connectivity, aviation, maritime, mining, northern communities, backup connectivity, and locations where fibre or cable economics are poor.
