True, but businesses don't care about regulations except where it costs them money. Also, remember that time is money, so any regulatory delays cost real money to a business.

My point is that you can actually reduce it all to dollars. And I believe that the cost of orbital data centers will come down due to technological advances, while the cost of regulation will only go up, because of local and global opposition.

I'm not sure. A couple of points:

1) The regulatory landscape is enormous. It is unknown from which angle regulators will "slow you down."

2) As I mentioned the regulatory frameworks in this area are evolving very quickly. It is unknown what the regulations will be in 1, 2, 5 years and how that will impact your business.

That's not true for people experienced in the particular industry. Others can find a lawyer that will give them a good picture.
