update 23Gbps * 4425 satellites is - 100k simultaneous 1Gbps users - 1 million 100Mbps users - 10 million 10Mbps users Doesn't seem like much of a subscriber base to recoup a fraction of the costs (My) Estimated cost for satellites and ground stations: 50-100+ billion, maintenance cost: few billion/year? Might I propose instead genetically modifying insects to pass photosynthetic light signals in massive swarms controlled by ground stations (just for cool visuals) and spend the rest on ground microwave towers or anything else. |
