If you add up the total time the telescope will be available to the public in minutes (please, correct me if I'm wrong) you get:

30 * 1000 + 3 * 30 * 500 + 3 * 30 * 500 + 10 * 30 * 100 + 25 * 30 * 50 + 25 * 30 * 50 = 225000 minutes = 156.25 days

This is not really a lot. The remaining time will be used by Planetary Resources. There is no way for public to continue using the telescope after that.

Assuming this is where they stop, and they don't build a system for purchasing time later on...
