If starship works (huge if) the markets it can open will be very different than the markets Falcon9 opened.

Something will need to develop around the new capabilities to use beyond their own use for starlink, but its going to be much easier for companies to come up with uses for it.

They make most of their money off starlink now, not ISS.
