Starlink satellites are for high-speed Internet to locations that don't have the infrastructure for regular Internet, or the cost is prohibitive.
These are not communication satellites.
This article is much more informative than the first one I read, clarifies it did have 60 satellites. https://spacenews.com/spacex-surpasses-1000-satellite-mark-in-latest-starlink-launch/
I would say the Internet is the main communication means in the world now, though. Which would be worse, loss of TV? phones? internet?
That's a valid point. Digital communication is probably the most important form of communication, but even Starlink will only be a small portion of it. Starlink still relies on ground stations to do the heavy lifting. SpaceX is not setting up their own Internet backbone.
