Challenges with network buildout, speed, and price could prevent SpaceX from launching its satellite-broadband service in 2020:

it could lower latency to 20 milliseconds due to the low-earth orbit of its satellites, lessening the distance the signal must travel to reach end users.

Price. Gywnne Shotwell, SpaceX president and COO, said millions of US consumers pay $80 a month for "crappy service," SpaceNews. While Shotwell points to a clear shortcoming of current US broadband offerings, SpaceX has not yet provided insights into how it plans to price its alternative service. The sum of these barriers and uncertainties indicates satellite broadband providers are unlikely to pose a threat to traditional providers in mid-2020, as SpaceX has posited. But they shouldn't be counted out in the long term, as SpaceX, Amazon, and OneWeb, among others, are investing

in the opportunity. In the meantime, traditional telecoms should look for ways to integrate the technology into their existing operations, as the services could ultimately be complementary.
