Toot

@mensrea I think at least the economics of broadband from space don't make sense in large cities, where terrestrial options like 5G or fiber will yield much higher network speeds. So instead we're talking about people in more rural areas. The market isn't there to sustain a project I recall reading was projected to cost USD 10 billion over its lifetime. So instead, the company will make its money selling broadband to enterprises and militaries -- not poor people.
