What else would this affect?
Correct, with the exception of any site with direct peering to a NAP/IXP. GAW would go down. The banks would probably still be a direct connect. Hard to tell until it happens. If the NAP/IXPs go down, then Starlink would be likely worthless, unless they have some content or information to be published from their ground stations.
