Latency, rain-out, blind spots.
What’s not to like?

“The United Nations estimates that almost 4 billion people around the globe are underserved when it comes to internet access, which is becoming increasingly important as the world grows more connected.“
Yet if you believe facebooks numbers they all have Facebook accounts and click on ads. Same with google, Twitter ....

I would say a billion are fake. Close to 50% are vapor.

Cold sun and a shrunken atmosphere say they will stay up longer than past history would suggest.

That's a lot of orbiting crap to worry about. :^) Seems like latency would be a problem with a system like this, but it could be the only convenient way to access broadband, for instance, on or above the Pacific Ocean.

Yes but her share of stock is 25% of his
I’m not sure who’s the largest block of shares
Bezos owns around 13%of the company
Largest shareholder
