What I don't understand is where are the Starlink competitors. Supposedly the UK government owns a stake of 10% in OneWeb and yet they are planning to use Starlink for trains.

Is it really just too hard to put enough satellites in orbit to be competitive with Starlink?

Starlink has an unfair advantage and is flown on the economically unbeatable falcons.
