Will laser communications between these celestial bodies become a reality before 2030?
Will it be achieved by government or the private sector?

Surely it'll be whatever's the most necessary? Why laser communications in particular?
Laser/light communications focuses all energy in a "line of sight" or straight line direction like microwave communications and can be achieved with lower power output then conventional RF or . Since the moon
and
are tidal locked, point to point communication remains nearly 100% reliable.
Kinda hard when everything's spinning though, no?

Not really. JWST can maintain it line of site objectives at the Lagrange 2 point, other satellites could do the same.
