The only reason for it not going cheaper might be monopoly, not cost.
Today, satellite access is expensive, very expensive. Mobility is very
challenging on most geostationary networks, simply because they have
not been designed to support it. 

Once constellations are launched and low earth orbit networks start
competing with each other, prices will come down significantly.
