Seems to me like Dish tv has been around forever while spaceX is just now providing internet via satellite, what took so long?

Satellite internet has been a thing for about as long as satellite TV. It’s primarily been a thing for people in areas not served by cable or ADSL isps, though, because it’s always had astronomical latency. The actual speeds vary, but the latency (ping) has always been high. I don’t know if/ how space x fixed that, but if they did, it would make satellite internet much more mainstream.
