Re:SpaceX’s Starlink Constellation construction begins by BurningFrog on Wednesday April 17, 2019 @11:31AM (#19683442)
My impression of the Starlink project is that it's at least in part a backup project for unused launch capacity.

That is, if they happen to not find paying customers for all their reusable launch fleet, this is a way for it to not stand around idle.

Under this theory, paying customers will always get precedent over throwing up another 44 satellites.
