Interesting. Relative worked for EutelSat.

Visited their headquarters in Paris. Tight security.

This should be fun, if they last long enough.

It’s gonna get pretty crowded in the low earth orbit space. It’s easy for me to predict a coming shakeout of the weaker commercial competitors.

I was on the waiting list for starlink. ITS COMING. My viasat dish is worthless. I am using an Amazon wifi box with a phone Sim card to work from home. It’s 10x faster than viasat. I can’t even watch TV using viasat because it uses all my wifi in the 1st week. Yeah!! Oh and it’s 99 a month. Not 138.

Money is one thing, technology is another. It will take more than mere money to compete with SpaceX now, and will only get worse, once they have Starships operational at US$1M per launch.
