Perhaps the OP is trying to compare the cost basis of ground based ISP's to that of satellite based systems.
Ground based systems can upgrade at any time they feel the investment is warranted and use that upgraded infrastructure for decades.
A satellite requires years of planning and construction, millions of dollars of investment and only has a useful life span of 12 to 15 years. To that you need to add in the costs of NOC's and Gateways.
It really shouldn't come as a surprise that data costs for a Sat ISP's are higher than terrestrial systems.
