The spectrum purchase allows SpaceX to start building and deploying upgraded, laser-connected satellites that the company said will expand the cell network's capacity by "more than 100 times."

That's gonna be a big network.

A year ago, Starlink had 4 million subscribers. At that level it has been reported to be profitable. Profits were said to be 12 million on revenues of about $700 million. The estimate is for revenues to be above 12 billion in 2025.

The 4 million customers do not include the maritime customers of 75,000 ships and 3000 cruise ships, or government contracts.

Elon Musk says he expects $18 billion a year in profits - but did not put a date on it.

Projections are for the possibility of Starlink to obtain over a billion subscribers.
