It’s only $120 a month in the USA , each market has their own price point it’s much cheaper in Mexico and in Kenya its $10 a month for mini and 50Gb of data. Each additional Gb is 20 US cents. The USA and first world plus ships ,aircraft and oil rigs all pay full price the disadvantaged get it at what they can afford. The birds are up so its sunk cost except for the gateways and with laser links those can be anywhere alone an orbital plane since they link fore and aft you can see the two laser terminals on two sides of the new v1.5 birds. Looks like they could spin one 90 degrees to cross link to another plane but that would cut the chain along plane so probably only used in the polar regions to mesh network.
