What are you basing cost effective on? Launch costs? Satellite cost? Ground Station Cost? CPE?
I'm pretty sure SpaceX can take care of the first two. The issue with launch costs is there isn't enough volume to support high frequency low cost launches, except that they solve their own problem by becoming their own customer. Satellite cost gets solved by volume. Ground Stations are pretty solvable. The big issue that I see is the CPE side. I don't think they understand the difficulty of installing/maintaining for the residential market. There will be massive uptake for DIA like services, but the residential side is going to need some sort of local ecosystem and CPE costs won't be workable for quite awhile.
