.. seems to be offering a better top-end service (1 gig) when it eventually launches. Remains to be seen how good it will be or if it even comes to pass, of course,

Competition is always welcome as a consumer.

If it happens of course.

Its been around for a while. They've recently been using SpaceX to get satellites to orbit.

There certainly needs to be at least 2 viable satellite internet providers. Its rare for a monopoly to be a good thing.
