What do you mean? Space Data was using them, they built a bunch of balloon networks for the military. It's not clear to me that their allegations are correct, but they can hardly be accused of being an NPE.

For civilian purposes that's basically equivalent to being a NPE.

In reality it's even worse, since NPEs typically don't (indirectly) cause physical harm to people.
