So, a requirement to a competitive satcom would be like 25 Gbit/s. I think it
is not impossible to make, if many intermediate layers (HAPS, drones etc)

As was noted upthread, raw bandwith is not the only relevant criteria
here
I agree.
But, raw bandwidth increase often (always?) comes with latency
decrease. It shouldnt be neglected.
(and nobody really *needs* 25 Gbit/s at home, though I'd *love* to
have it).
Sure, I agree.
To that, I'd say this:
"640kbyte RAM is enough for all purposes", right?
finger + bandwidth = twitter
iridium + bandwidth = starlink
ATMachine + bandwidth = paypal
It appears hard to reduce in importance.
And I do appreciate and use many low bandwidth high-latency links regularly.
And I do agree that, especially in countries with many
sparsely-populated areas, the starlink access appears to be a great
tool, which should be considered importantly.
