    “The new Omega satellite promises to offer more internet capacity while >keeping the costs low.”

    Pretty soon, we are going to have million billion satellites rotating
    around the planet from LEO to GEO.

    Sure. And one malfunctioning station-keeping thruster failure will
    render space inaccessible.


    BTW, I am using Starlink exclusively for my office building out in the >country now. Works great, I am getting 100/100 mbps out of it. Much
    better than the AT&T DSL 12/1 mbps lines that I have multiplexed.

    12/1 DSL has been obsolete for a decade. Fiber is the way to go.
