Sorry, I think I was misunderstood. Cell towers that work over starlink (i.e., use starlink as an uplink method) may be cheaper than cell towers that use a landline for an uplink.
So the ideal situation would be Starlink for remote areas, and in medium to higher density areas put up towers that talk to Starlink, then can speak to local receivers using terrestrial radio technologies.
