SpaceX is working on making a low-cost phased-array antenna the size of a pizza box, targeting $100-300.

Cool idea, but sounds a lot like your typical Elon announcement. SpaceX ia doing great in the rocket business sue to clear advantage regarding development costs (I still have my doubts regarding their true launch costs, so). Pushing them to develop new antennas shifts the focus, not sure if that is such a good idea...
