> Cheaper to pay them to move

They are not going to move. Period. I know this sounds snarky, but in all honesty if you had been to Alaska you would understand.

> Perhaps we should not be subsidizing folks where it costs $1M to deliver terrestrial connectivity to you

Or serve them with fast, reliable internet that is not terrestrial, and does not cost anything remotely close to $1M.

Doesnt sound snarky at all. "paying them to move" sure does though.

I've seen subsidy numbers of $200k. I'm pretty sure a million is possible.
