Replacing one monopoly with another is not the way to go.

Starlink is only a monopoly in locations without traditional broadband. It's not even a very good alternative in dense locations, where you compete with neighbors for bandwidth. Though perhaps they can serve enough users to influence prices a bit.
It's not replacing, it's adding a player, and diluting the monopoly.
