And terminal costs will be through the roof in comparison.

Who else out there is making full-on beamforming capable satellite terminals under $1k? Kymeta's over $20k+ for a single dish.

People may hate the company and the man behind it but there's something special about being able to grab specialized satcoms hardware for like $300 at Best Buy.

10 years ago a BGAN terminal ran me $5000+ and a 384k connection several thousand bucks a month. Now you can get ~512k for $5 a month in Standby Mode on a $300 dish.

There's no terminal costs. Eutelsat uses bog-standard 5G.

The company and the man behind it cost $300 more per terminal.

No it doesn't, not for me and millions of others.
