I agree-ish, wartime is something else, but if we have fiber up in Hudson bay we really don't need-need starlink anywhere in 2026 (other than where we've dragged our feet getting fiber).
airplanes could use an elliptical sattelite for their high speed, low latency requirments. Personally though any connection more than a high orbit satellite provides is a nice to have, but not safety critical by any means.
Plus LEO is just intentionally wasteful, I wouldn't be surprised if starlibk was a money hole without its military contracts.
I would argue the internet isn't critical, and is in fact harmful, and we would be better without it. I expect downvotes for this- but my point is, critical doesn't really come into the question imo.
But I'm a bit of a luddite and think technology in general is bad for the human experience. Not inherently, but in practice.
