What I mean is less a matter of what is technologically possible

instead a matter of if there is an intersection between the number of people willing to pay for a specific service level and the cost of providing that service level. Other LEOs have generally not found that point without someone losing lots of money first, though they didn't have the vertical integration SpaceX does and of course there are other incremental improvements there.

How will their set of price/volume/speed compare to existing GEO services and their improving designs? How does a consumer value the latency improvement? How good is the ability to scale the LEO constellation and how does that impact their competitiveness?

It varies but with my company it is a DSL offering. -- OrlandoHokie 11/20/2020 2:22PM

It'll be interesting to see how Starlink performs when they look -- jmanatVT 11/20/2020 10:37AM

It will be. With every launch of more satellites, capability increases. -- HokieSignGuy 11/20/2020 10:50AM
