This reminds me of Canada and the EU talking about building an alternative to Starlink for Internet access in remote areas.
It’s laughable at best to think either group has any remote chance of building a Starlink alternative.
Canada doesn’t even have a launch facility; the EU has a launch facility but has never shown the ability to launch at the rate necessary to create a Starlink alternative in the next 10-15 years at a minimum.
,,, even if they did it would be cheaper to launch from French Guyana. You shop around for this sort of service.
Yeah, the starlink launches are like a bus service: if you miss one, another will be along momentarily.
