Most of what you claim is unlikely and wrong. Specifically, the cost of the content is a big part of cable TV costs and that isn’t coming down. If you are content with only the network affiliates then the cost of TV is $0 with an antenna. The cost of internet has remained nearly constant for the last 20 years at about $40 per month (when considering inflation, it has dropped). Expecting the cost to drop by 4x is unrealistic. More likely, the cost will stay about the same or drop slightly with more competition. Case and point, in many parts of The Villages you have 3 choices for internet and the price is still about $40 per month. A new provider, even with much lower costs, is likely to consider the competition in their pricing model. Cellphones are not going to cost 99 cents. In fact, the cost keeps increasing. VCRs did not drop from $1000 to $100 in a year. If took many years for the price to drop that much.

Meanwhile Elon Musk is shooting up satellites every few weeks and we'll have five to ten thousand in the sky in one to two years at that time oh, you will see cable rates crash to $10 a month and you will truly have competition in the United States for Internet service and cable and tv. I predict Elon musk's next trick will be to have his own version of cell phones from the sky bye the year 2025 in the cell phones will become 99-cent items
